Storm door - gold kick plate

[bigchaz 157]

Anyone know if its possible to replace just the gold plate on the bottom of an aluminum storm door? Normally I dont have any problems with them but homeowner had a brand new one installed and called to tell me it got spotted and when she wiped it off the gold came off as well.

Looks similar to the picture attached...you can see the gold piece (maybe 2 inches tall) across the bottom of the door

*edit: The storm door in question butts right up to a wood deck we cleaned with stripper and brightener...I'm not sure which one of them may have caused the damage to the finish. Everything was prewet and rinsed afterward but the chemical must have acted on it right away

Charlie,

I have more gold in my mouth than that kick plate. It is probably brass. Either brass cleaner or a cheap replacement from a big box store.
