Open the door, pop the rubber plug near the top rear surface of the door, loosen the socket cap screw that holds the lock cylinder in, and pull the lock cylinder out a bit. Tape off the door around the lock, clean the old cylinder surface, tape off the center portion ( a nickel is a good template for a mask...), spray SEM self etching primer, then SEM trim black. Reassemble. Done.

Only thing I might add...is...rest a magnet against your Allen-head wrench as you remove the cap screw (under the rubber plug, in door jam, above the door latch mechanism) that holds the lock...or you may be taking the door panel off to retrieve it...and its lock washer...and its flat washer. Does this sound like advice from a guy that has "been there, done that" or what...lol.
The magnet trick works well for installing the cap screw, also.

The jager window switch decals were a great purchase... but I'm thinking the 3M vinyl will stick a bit better since it's used in professional car wraps and can be heated with a heat gun to conform to edges. I'll post pictures when I finally attempt it.
