Default Door handle "Jaguar" paint rubbing off

Hey guys, new here. I've recently acquired a 14' V6 S. One of the couple flaws it has is the door handle paint rubbing off on the driver's side door. The passenger side still looks great. Ive scoured the internet to see if there were any vinyls this size for sale but had no luck. I'm trying to hold off getting a dealer quote if it's something I can fix myself. Any had this issue and had it fixed or fixed it themselves?

I don't see a part number for a decal for the "JAGUAR" print on the parts diagram I included the link to. Looks like the entire assembly may need to be replaced.

Really odd. I don't think that I even touch that when opening the door.

Most likely acidity from the hands...thumb maybe? I would put some sort of sealer on it if you get it redone.

Just rub it all off. It looks cheesy to me anyways. I already know what car I'm opening, and I always open the door for my passenger.

Should be covered under warranty.

Still under warranty. Can't believe that didn't dawn on me

I'll check with my local dealership and see what they say. Thanks!
