Canada Repainting interior grab handles

Just picked up my 2002 Cooper and the grab handles and the silver ring on the sterring wheel boss are both quite scratched. Looks like the previous owner wore a lot of rings! Any way to re-paint these? Or are there any after market replacements?

Im going to paint mine as well, it involves you needing to remove the door cards and having to drill out the plastic rivits that hold the elipse in place.

I think that I might just get my paintbush out - sounds like a lot of work with the opportunity to nake the whole door look worse!
