Thread: restoring plastic interior trim

Nothing you can do about this. Seal it and it will look like crap. Sorry to say but you need new one's. I have to do the same thing to my 85 Chevy pickup because of this. I sanded it for now but like you said, I lost that orange peel look and it looks like crap IMO.

I was afraid of that. Is'nt it about time somebody develop a good product just for this type of thing? It's a shame to see nice looking parts like that go to waste....they keep screaming "take me home!"...

Thanks people.

It would only cost about 10 bucks to try the clear and then the spray dye and see what it looks like.

Good point....I can try it out on the dry crappy ones that I have in my car now. They couldnt turn out any worse than they look now.

I had a buddy that had a Dr.Vynal business ,and the Older GM truck door panels did the same thing .
I watched him scuff the dried up surface with a grey scotch brite pad with a little lacquer thinner , then he would use chip guard spray to get the vinyl effect back ( blended in kind of dry ) , then sprayed the door panel with vinyl die .
Looked darn good !! Could hardly tell it was repaired
Might try that
