Interior trim repair - options..?

[Kuro]

Hi folks,

 

As well as the plethora of weird sounds that my interior makes, something else has been bugging me for ages

 

I have a few scratches on the door, the armrest really, just by the switches; don't suppose anyone has any insider tips on how to remove these???

 

Thanks all

Im in the same boat. I reckon its been caused by the key when exiting the car. Ive not got round to adressing these yet, and cant think of anything yet.

Me too (trying and failing to get a bird cage in - don't ask, wasn't even mine!!!), its really doing my head in!

If its scrated on the plastic housing (that the switches fit into) then they are painted (yes the black plastic is painted and you can get special paint that is easy to spray)

Where from?

I've been looking for this paint as well. I saw a guy on TV repairing a door card which he then spray painted - looked immaculate when he had finished.

 

Where can we get it from??

I will talk to my old company and get them to send me some, we used to spray the BMW mini inside.

It would be great if you can get hold of it.

I was talking to an autoparts chap today and he said they used to stock something called Vinyl Spray Formula 40 but with the prevalence of leather and cloth seats they couldn't get it any more.

 

Google doesn't turn anything up (in the UK).

 

My shoe polish experiment didn't work, but I've just bought some black shoe dye (recommended by the autoparts chap) and will experiment with that this weekend...

 

Cheers!
