It's been a while since I looked at the purple ones that mine had from the factory. I did look at having them refinished before opting to go for the fake wood, but the specialist I spoke to suggested the finish he could achieve on that type of surface would be no more hard wearing than the lower handle shells (which I've personally found are good for about 6 months before scratches appear, even if you're very careful)
Your best bet might be to go for black plastic as the base - I think it's the OEM finish on most of the plastic parts that causes the issue, as it doesn't store well.
