brake lever scratched

When removing my center console, I scratched the hand brake lever. Is there any paint or product that can repair the surface?

Apparently Meguiars Scratch X does the job if only a small scratch. You can use it on the leather/plastic of the handbrake surround. Also Liquidleather 'Scuffmaster' do a leather repair kit in Porsche OEM colours...

if you find a matching paint (todays leather are not dyed, but painted)... you can sand down the leather and paint it.

When taking out the console, use masking tape on the e-brake.....
