W444AJD Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hi all, anyone had a go at Plastidip on the interior trim? the youtube video makes it looks a pretty simple task...thought I might try gunmetal grey, the silver in mine is pretty scratched so would like to improve it. Any photos or advice would be appreciated...prep work/sanding? drying times in Scotland in winter, etc! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcR9kin3Tv8 also would really love to change the wee orange plastic bit on the HVAC controls to red! Does this part exist? anyone ever changed theirs, or tried to paint red? photo shows the ones I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matmidgley Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 This was asked in another post not long ago, I did mine nearly a year ago and looks as good as when I first did it. also did the door bits where the window buttons are, the vents and my outside mirror covers. I use normal dash polish on it and had no problems, the outside is washed just as I do the rest of the car so its pretty hard wearing. it does attract a bit more dust than before but nothing major. Prep work, just clean it no sanding needed and I just left it to dry where I sprayed it, I can't remember drying times but it was just as it says on the can, think I did 3 or 4 coats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W444AJD Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 have bought some Full Dip (seems to be a slightly cheaper version of Plastidip) in gunmetal grey colour - will give it a bash when the weather warms up a bit. Also got the red hazard switch off eBay. Will post some photos when I'm done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RommelPL Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I had rims in Plastidip, from April till November - It was pretty good. About 20 washing and nothing happened. But you need to make sure what you are buying - it must be original Plastidip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W444AJD Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Had a go this weekend with the plasti-dip stuff (I used Full Dip from Matt-pack), did the wee air vents as a starting point to see how it easy it was, and how it looked. Pretty happy with the results anyway, they were a bit scratched and faded before. Will see how long the stuff lasts! Will do the full centre console next weekend hopefully.

W444AJD Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 So I did the centre console at the weekend. Pretty pleased with the colour. I put too much on the bit by the gear stick so maybe peel it off and try again sometime, but a cheap and easy face-lift for the interior I think.
