Rentech Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Sitting in the car today I noticed a few small white spots on the door trim that surrounds the window and mirror adjuster switches. Thought I'd just splashed some polish onto it but on closer inspection it seems they are small nicks in the outer surface I guess some bright spark at Nissan thought 'I've got a good idea, let's make the door trim out of a white material and coat it black, then when it gets scratched it will look extremely obvious'. Anyway, it an '07 model and I guess I may have caught the trim with my keys as I have not noticed it before. Has anybody tried touching this area up and what did you use? All I can think of at the moment is something like a black indelible marker. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I had exactly the same problem with mine and after a couple of unsuccessful attempts to touch them up, I got some carbon fibre covers instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I had very similar on my cubby door, used dry marker pen and the result was spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbie Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Me too on. Dry marker pen repaired it OK but I have some carbon trim covers on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentech Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Thanks. I'll give it a try. Dry maker pen - is that the type you would use on a white board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 See my post from a few weeks ago - the new 06> revised soft touchy interior is about as durable as the proverbial Coco fireguard! Just get a black wax crayon - rub it over into the scratch with your fingers and thats enough to hide it. I tried black magic marker and ink pens but they dry out - I am still looking for a better solution longer term will keep you posted - but its a vinyl/paint covering that we need really.

Wez21 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have marks on mine but am just going to get it painted black, easy to redo after a year or too and cheap also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
