Door Handle Paint Chip

Hey guys,
There was a chip out of the front passenger door handle that was there when I bought the car. The car is in immaculate condition other than this chip so I kind of want to fix it. Anyone know of some fixes? It appears that it is chipped all the way down to the metal.
THANKS

the handle is plastic so no need to worry about it rusting, but to fix it is simple. Clean the area up with some Rubbing alcohol and then take some white touch up paint and dip a toothpick in it. Then take the toothpick and place the tip on the chip and it'll fill in itself. let it dry over the course of a day and repeat until it looks better!

Thanks guys,
I might just buy a new handle depending on how difficult it is to install it.
