Fit 3G silver dash trim scratched?

Hey guys - wondering if anyone has any ideas about repairing/repainting the silver dash trim, around the AC vents, etc. A poorly-made phone mount keeps falling off the windshield and dinging the trim. Photos attached...

Any thoughts?

Sand it and repaint it. I did all my interior trim in candy red then clear coated it. Doesn't take a helluva lot of effort and looks great.

mask it carefully, wet sand it and apply matte silver paint with an airbrush.

they have similar looking trim on ebay. Depends how much work you want to do and how much you want to spend: buy paint and clearcoat, expensive OEM replacement, or go will el cheapo ebay parts.

Last time I saw a Massacre like that, Dexter was rolling up a plastic Tarp.
That's a little more than a scratch.

I expect the good news is it's very repairable, using the methods already suggested.

I'd just do a quick wrap.
