Randy_Baton Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hi, Most of the cars I've been looking at are a bit rough on the inside. Most of the dings seem to be on the inner door handles where the window controls are and the silver strut. How much are these to replace and is it easy?

KyleR Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Don't replace them, remove them and repaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Don't replace them, remove them and repaint I was just reading something about this on an american forum. How easy are they to get off, bearing in mind I don't have a garage and can't park outside my house! any recommendations for the paint?

14N Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Very easy to remove (just a few screws and clips). Many choose to wrap them with vinyl (myself included). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Easy to get off (I'm not mechanically gifted) first few steps of this guide for driver's then onto step 9 for passenger's. http://liljerk.morpheus.net/350Z/front_speakers/ I'm actually finding getting a spot on painted finish quite tricky, but I'm persevering.

So I gave up, rubbed it down with about 1500 grit wet and dry and used whatever liquid polish I could find in the shed, came out great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actual picked up plastic primer & filler, leveller and rubbing compound in rattle cans today. Going to have another run at them. I'll bare your polish experience in mind. Ta.

vbjr Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 any ideas where to get one though? Mine is broken and needs replacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 any ideas where to get one though? Mine is broken and needs replacing Try eBay or a breakers yard. Also I believe there are some traders on here who may be able to help you source one. On topic: I've been toying with the idea of having mine dipped after I saw some carbon fibre dipped handles on Super Stu's 350 I believe it was. There was a guy on here that used to do it for members but has since stopped but luckily I've found a local company who can do this type of thing very cheaply & there results look great on there site. Think I might give them a go once I've stopped paying bills. Here's there site for anyone interested; http://www.aquagraphix.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
