How to go about reconditioning/painting interior plastics?

Post by Dan25 »

Hey guys, I have a lot of scuffs on some of my interior plastics and they can't be removed with normal interior cleaners, so I was wondering what is the best way to approach reconditioning them?

Is there a heavy duty product I could use, or would it just be a case of repainting them? If so, would I use a matt black paint and what kind of paint does it need to be?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

i had minor marks on some of the parts i painted, but after re-paint an sanding its looks real nice and smooth, i used some gloss midnight blue paint and gloss after it, then sand down with like 2000grit, then use plastic polish to clean it.

thats how mine turned out
