I used self fusing silicone tape as paint protector on door handle and door sill. I am not sure how it will hold up, but it's supposed to be very durable. Unless you take the picture with flash light, it's not really noticeable... Each roll is about 10'.
That little strip in the door handle cup isn't going to provide adequate protection. Better to buy a roll from rvinyl.com and trim to cover the entire cup.
Considering the color of your car - be a man... use duct tape.... If you're not a man, trim your fingernails...
