Hi guys,

Would just like to know any ideas on the internal door handle , the one on the door card.

Basically my one is all scratched with what looks the cause to be the seatbelt hitting it when taking it off. Now i know you could either buy an entire new door card which i do not want to do! OR you could remove the door card and prep and paint the handle BUT is there any other ideas of a quick fix? might be some smart idea i have not thought of? thought of maybe a tape rap but then you would see the lines in the tape right?

Any ideas welcome! :)
