Interior Door Handle

First Post Here!

I've had my Mini for just under a year now, and I've been doing to minor mods, and mainly fixing small things here and there like rattles, squeaks, A/C stink, etc.

Here's the new project. I want to do something to the interior door Handles?! The paint on the plastic is literally wiping off. I was think of doing a CF wrap, but when I removed the door panel I was disappointed to the the plastic seems to have been welded on or something. Has any one seen a complete project of re-doing these handles.

Here's a Google Search for the image just to give you an idea (the silver plastic).

And here's a pic of the Mini after 9 months of ownership.
