SHEZZA Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hydro dipped piano black then maybe instead of carbon. 18 hours ago, Yarlsberg said: Thanks but not keen on aftermarket mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sanded mine back, sprayed with primer, sanded again then vinyl'd in a pearl white to match my exterior.. still not happy with the vinyl though so I've got attempt #3 soon lol... Would have been much easier to just spray it satin black to look OEM again!! Hydrodipping has good results and you can get home kits too so can be cost effective - Either way you will have to sand it back as if you dipped/sprayed/vinyled how it is, you will see the scuff marks come through... Takes patience but definitely a DIY job imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwesty Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 We got a guy who specialises in this stuff to do 2 handles, one worse than that, touch up on the dash cubby, plus attend to worn seat bolster. Total cost was £100 and we’re very pleased with result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought there must be someone in your area offering a similar service though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
