Chips on interior titanium trim

Is there a touch kit available to repair chips on the titanium trim for our cars. I have several on my door handle, probably from my watch.

No touch up paint I know of, besides it wouldn't dry fluch with the rest of the handle and would probably look like trash. Good news is silver trim piece is about 25 bucks at the dealer if I remember, maybe thirty...

First few months I had the car I brought it in for the rattle in the rear parcel shelf. Long story short the mech who worked on the car must of been wearing rings because the my door handle was all scratched up. So I just bout another piece. It snaps off and snaps on, real easy. I think its your best bet.

I'd sand the current color off the trim, redo them completely, then quadruple clear-coat the heck out of it!

I really hate the silver plastic trim piece. I'm not too sure if this is an issue in the coupe, but in my sedan, the driver's side door handle silver plastic trim piece is all dinged up because of my watch... might as well buy a replacement piece and pop it in before I sell my car (in a few years).

I'm tellin you guys. Sand it down, paint it whatever color you like and then clear-coat the hell out of it! You can always rub out the scratches in the clear coat.

exactly what i plan on doing... my center console picks up scratches all the time... i'm just going to paint match it as close as possible to stock color, repaint the center console and the door handles, and clearcoat the hell outta them. like you said... clearcoat you can just wetsand out scratches if they're not too deep
