    Worn paint on the rear seats pull up handles etc

    The paint on and around the rear seat pull up release handles is worn. I guess it is soft touch. Mine's beige. If soft touch I could order some via Rick but on the other hand, it will no doubt wear soon again. What have other people done? Is there a thread? (can't find one)

Besides use of titanium (very hard to work) it also mentions anodising the aluminium to protect it from corrosion, specifically salt in the salt beds in South...
