Steering wheel button scratch

Hi everyone!
I got a nasty scratch on one of my steering wheel buttons and light shows through at night now! It's kinda annoying. Can these buttons be replaced?
If so, maybe the dealer can order one?

You could use a little satin black touch up paint with a brush or toothpick depending on how big the scratch is. It won't be perfect, but might hold you for awhile.

I'll probably get mine replaced on my next oil change. the right side wheel radio controls are showing through, surprised the material/finish selected wasn't stronger (like what's used on the dash radio controls)

It should have been free under warranty.

I have the '05 shaker 1000 radio and all my buttons are starting to lose paint. Thankfully my steering wheel buttons aren't. Though my left side blank is wiggling around. I find it annoying these buttons "chip" and "scratch" like that.

I'll ask my dealer, but I'm in Japan and I doubt they'd order such a small part...
I can get one when I come home to visit my parents this Christmas... I'll definitely try to order it in advance...

My dealer replaced the "phone button" under warranty for this problem.
