    Renovating interior trim

    Just a quick question, as I couldn't find anything using the search feature.......

    The interior trim, door handles, door pockets etc, have obviously, over the years, become marked and scratched, and I would like to get them looking a bit better and tidier.
    Is there any way of 'renovating' the plastic trim, to get rid of the offending scars?

    Send them to me in the post, I can repair them and send them back.

    Or you could try heating the plastics up with a heat gun.

    I'd heat it up, plastic weld where needed, clean it, spray it with a plastic primer, then re texture it, flat it with 800, clean it, then re texture, tac it and paint it with a 32 (colour I think will match perfect). Then a mist of lacquer and in the oven for 15mins

    Bish bash bosh!
