Interior trim restoration?
I am sure some of you must have had that oxidized interior plastic trim, from long term sun exposure. I can scratch it with my fingernail, and peel off a layer of this dull dry rough plastic. It is beyond any plastic detail type spray products. The colour has actually faded from a dark blue, to a grey. I did buy some automotive plastic paint, thinking I could just spray a fresh coat of colour, but the surface needs to be prepped. ( Funny thing is the soft Vinyl interior parts, seat sides, door, and rear seat trim look great still.)
Anybody have ideas on what I can do with this hard plastic trim, or paint prep ideas? None of it is cracked, or what I hope, beyond repair.
Thanks, BillLast edited by Chev malibu; 08-11-2006 at 11:24 PM.

I seen a friend of mine spray a center console in a Chevy Blazer once and it looked like it came from the factory that way. I think that he light sanded it and then threw on a coat.If I knew anything I'd be dangerous.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
