TomS Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Has anyone plastidip'd part of their interior? I know a few people have done wheels but wondered what it's like in an interior. I've managed to get a small scratch on my cubby door and it's been annoying me for months, since I have to take my headunit out to put a steering wheel patch cable in I thought I might as well sort out the dash. I've also got a few scratches on the inside of the drivers side door where I get into the car in a rush when it's peeing down and scuff the door, so that needs sprucing up as well! I also came acrossGtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer which looks great for restoring faded trim but wondering if it would cover up the scratch or just make everything darker with a small lighter scratch still visible, anyone have experience with C4 (not that kind!)? Vinyl wrap is another way of doing it but i don't fancy trying that as I know I'll **** it up and vinyl isn't exactly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Not sure plastidip would hold up that well but why not just do cubby cover and see, isn't it pretty much reversible if you go down the wrapping route hexis is very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Wrapped mine satin black looks fantastic, plastidip finish isn't that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomS Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 How difficult is it to wrap? How much vinyl did you need? I might go down that route but I thought it would be very difficult due to the dials and round the gearstick, do you do it all with 1 sheet to stop seams?

coldel Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yep 1 sheet, cut into parts for the gear surround and the centre dash - RTBiscuit can sort you out some hexis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomS Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 RTB used to have a thread somewhere with all prices and material didn't he? Can't seem to find it! Looks like I will go the route of wrapping the centre console, any ideas about the lower door scuffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
