Repair/Touch Up of Interior Plastic

Post by Bdaz1 »

Got a couple of small gouges and stratches in the plastic interior. One on the glove compartment door and another on the passenger rear door. They obviously look lighter than the "dark grey" plastic interior color. Any recommendations on how to fill & paint or otherwise touch these up and/or what to use?Thanks.

Find a colour match paint, carefully sand the gouges as best you can with very fine paper and paint it. That's what they do in the assembly plant repair departments.

Yeah, i've noticed that the plastic inside my interior scratches really easily as well. My cargo area is scratched all to hell from moving. Keep us updated, i'd like to fix mine!

same goes here. my amp is mounted to my speaker box, and even though i have it tied down, i still have very deep gouges in the back of the seat. i wonder if you could get that rhino lining stuff in the back of the vibe...that would be spiffy
