Chipped chrome on shift ****, how to fix?

My shift **** is missing some of the chrome paint around the ring, as shown in this pic. Can this be fixed easily with some sort of paint? Or can I replace the piece without replacing the entire shift ****?

It drives me nuts because I can feel it when I'm shifting (it's rough where the paint chipped off).

easiest, cleanest, and best way to do it would be to replace the whole shift ****.
