Default 2011 Q5 Parking brake lever peeling?

Anyone else experienced this? Don't have any fingernails to speak of no idea why this would happen. Part of it just peeled when I pulled it a few weeks ago now another portion has come off.

What would it take to replace it? Or take it off and paint the aluminum portion black?

One of the biggest beefs of my wife's '05 S4 Cab was paint peeling off of often-used buttons -- by the time we traded it in, the A/C/heater's hot button was completely red and the cold button, blue. Audi should have used hard plastic underneath well-affxed (glued) rubber cover, perhaps with a tiny LED behind the red and blue hot and cold symbols. It's just a "feature," I guess.

Unfortunately, none of this comes as a surprise to me. We have a very extensive stock of Audi buttons, button covers, switches and switch covers, quite a few trim/surround pieces as well and they sell very well. My point is, Audi's interior buttons and switches tend to peal, if you are lucky it will be a black part and you can use a Sharpee to cover it up, otherwise feel free to utilize our extensive selection of buttons, switches etc...
