Interior Trim Peeling

[SargeS7]

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a 2012 LR4 and have been slowly making repairs and updating maintenance. I noticed that the glove box release has started peeling and needs to be recovered/painted. Just curious how other members may have addressed this issue?

Thanks!

The bottom part of my center console handle is doing that. I haven't fixed it since it isn't visible with it shut, but that sucks...

I just peeled off the aluminum cover. I was going to wrap it with vinyl wrap, but got too lazy and left it bare.

Mine is doing exactly the same. My parts guy at the dealer said the handle isn't really sold separately but the entire lid is replaced (for ridiculous $$). Anyone know if you start tearing into the lid, is the handle removable? Hoping I could remove it and paint it.

To be honest, with this being my first experience with an LR, and knowing the general public sort of views these vehicles as "up-scale", I'm somewhat surprised by some of the cheap/plasticky feeling of certain interior parts. Seats, leathers etc are all in great shape on my 82k truck. But the black coating on the NAV screen bezel, and the coatings on the headrest screens for the second row were all peeling when I bought the truck. Had to tear crap apart to get them all off and repaint them. The infamous sticky rubber AC knobs and vent directors. The whole glove box assembly feels cheap and plasticky, and the gear shift mechanism feels incredibly fragile and cheap. Still love the vehicle but was surprised by that. My wife's XC90 feels much more solidly put together interior wise.
