paint from climate control unit corroded

Post by xscape »

hi all, a few days ago the paint of my climate control unit came off. I realized that the air freshener had a crack and it leaked. And you know what alcohol does to plastics..:( Now i got paint of the buttons gone and it became white. How can i touch it up or something?

There's potential for a thread about anything on FTO Australia
