Door Handle Damage

Anyone know how to fix this type of scratch on the door handle.
The cars TG, I considered chrome handles, but I don't think they look too good on this colour.

A good paint shop can take care of that. DIY multiple thin layers of touch-up paint is second best.

Thanks, just wasn't sure whether touch-up paint would work very well on this.

I'll give it a try first.

No harm in going the touchup paint first. If it doesn't work out the body/paint shop is a better alternative anyway. As always, use a paper match stick to apply the paint and don't blob it. Multiple coats are better.
