Puffmac Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi Guys, I was cleaning my interior the other week and noticed the "paint" has come off of the gear surround revealing the grey plastic: I think I was a bit too vigorous with the cloth and I was dusting everything , but hey ho. What would be the best way to go about repairing it? It's a facelift, if that helps, not sure if the plastics on the pre-facelift gear surround were any different.

Maybe someone will come along who's done it before will know? I tried shoe polish but it didn't seem to take. Maybe I was using the wrong brand/technique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Whip it off and plastidip it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm with Ricey. Was going to say plasti dip it but he beat me to it. Cheap and quick fix, will be a good result too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Mine did the same. I used satin plastidip spray and it looks OEM again. Damn good that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffmac Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Cheers guys! Did you have to spray the whole thing or just the damaged bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I sprayed the whole thing, just so it all looked uniform. The silver bit comes apart from the black plastic, so no need to mask. No need to sand it, just wash with fairy liquid, dry well and spray. About four coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffmac Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Is matte black the one I'm looking for? Going to order it the now and can't find any satin black plastidip, but matte comes up so assuming matte/satin is the same thing! Forgive me if this is a daft question!

I chose satin because the interior is satin. Slight sheen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
