Default Door Cards/ panels repaint

The plastic area of my door cards where the arm rests are have been scratched and the surface paint is worn and damaged.

I can't seem to find used replacements in my area so I was wondering would it be practical to prepare and paint them and if so what would I need seeing as they are plastic?

If you want to paint them, go for it. Sand them with 600 grit paper and spray them. That's it. Or as Andrew149 said, order up a set from Shokan if you want to maintain the oem look.
