Not a hard job to respray, but I would get new one.

Other option would be to take both off and spray them black to match the car!?

they are attached from the inside mate, you have to take the door trim off and get to it from that way, becareful when you paint it as you have the sensors in the handle for your handsfree opening,

If you fancy a wee project then give spraying it a go, if not then just get onto Renault and demand a new one. Don't mention that you inflicted this yourself via a rotary - just tell them that it has worn away over time and is starting to be more noticeable.

In future be more careful with a rotary. Make sure you tape up everything that doesn't need to be polished like badges, door handles, plastics etc and you will never have this problem again. Like most things, preparation is the key to an easier detail and you will avoid mini-disasters like this.

Hope you get it sorted asap matey!
