OK, it's a little difficult to understand your post, but here are my answers as I see it. The interior door handles are Chrome, so I expect you mean the plastic surround is tatty, in which case spray them whatever colour you like. I did mine Graphite a few years ago & they still look great. As for the gear knob, these are not designed to be removed without breaking, so will have to be painted in-situ. I assume you have the bog standard plastic one, not leather? I will dig out some pics of mine later, so you see what I mean.
