PVC lost from hinges - help

5 years ago my poor Mum was conned into buying a Sunroom from a pair of cowboys. The company went into liquidation 2 years later (I've since learned this was a regular occurrence for the owners, who, every few years, simply dissolve one company and then set up another similar one). One of the double glazing units failed just after it disappeared - so she had to pay to have it replaced.

Now (5 years later) 2 of the external hinges of the outside door have lost their PVC coating and the composite material underneath is now visible. It just looks grotty. Does anyone know - is it possible to replace the PVC coating on these? Or is paint my only option (which I suspect will look like a botched job)?

Thanks.
