chocohercules Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Has Anyone restored the Door trims with the window Controls? As mine are scratched and looking rather tired.... Is there a step by step guide on here? Quote
ddcboyle Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 mines is the same and i dnt think the scratches will come out unlesa aprayed. most likely matt black if u want same colour Quote
Hennerz Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Has Anyone restored the Door trims with the window Controls? As mine are scratched and looking rather tired.... Is there a step by step guide on here? You can sand them back and spray them back up, but i wrapped mine in carbon vinyl Looked so much better Quote
ThriftyFifty Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Ebay... 3M Matt Black vinyl (£14 for 1.5m x 50 CM), exactly what I'll be doing to mine soon. If that doesn't work I'll sand / paint but makes more sense to do a no damage repair first. Quote
CrustyCrab Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I just sprayed mine with this; http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165495 worked fine Quote
Keyser Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Sand them back and paint them worked for me Pic Whore Quote
jjt Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Much of a challenge to remove the area in question? Or are people just masking up the surrounding area? Quote
sparky370z Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Easy to remove, don't do it in situ. Will end in disaster.only one screw and then lift out. Quote
jjt Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Cheers I've come to the general conclusion now that if something looks straightforward, it generally won't be! Nice exception here hopefully. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 i hope to have some carbon dipped ones soon, currently in the process of changing supplier but should be back up and running soon. Quote
ddcboyle Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 ill be spraying mine gloss black, so if u want me to do tutorial on it i can do, show how each bits removed and painted (its d.i.y job with no experiance though) lol but interior should be easier than exterior. wrap also works just need right stuff as some wont stick to plastic Quote
richmillions Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I picked up my car at weekend and this has been one thing that has bugged me. Glad its fixable Quote
4RE Leather Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Sand them back and paint them worked for me Pic Whore OMG there green. You need some NATO tuition:) Just out of interest, what did you use to spray the seats with? Quote
coldel Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 i hope to have some carbon dipped ones soon, currently in the process of changing supplier but should be back up and running soon. I always have some bizarre mental image of a big boiling pot of carbon which you precariously dip bits of Zeds into when you say something like that Rich! Quote
glrnet Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 i hope to have some carbon dipped ones soon, currently in the process of changing supplier but should be back up and running soon. Keep me posted please Rich Got some bits I want to do as well Quote
4RE Leather Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 i hope to have some carbon dipped ones soon, currently in the process of changing supplier but should be back up and running soon. That sounds interesting. Love to see some pictures:) Quote
LewisH Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Ebay... 3M Matt Black vinyl (£14 for 1.5m x 50 CM), exactly what I'll be doing to mine soon. If that doesn't work I'll sand / paint but makes more sense to do a no damage repair first. Just ordered this for my Zeds window control door trim, anyone got pics of the finish it gives? Quote
LewisH Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 So I ordered some of the 3M wrap mentioned above and with the help of fellow Zed bro fxn we went to work on wrapping my damaged window control panel. I bought the car a week an a half ago and this was the worst cosmetic damage. Here's how it went... The panel after we eventually got it out the car... wasn't fun as you can see the soft rubber was heavily chipped. Two and a half hours later we had wrapped our first thing ever! Very happy with the results, its not perfect but a huge improvement. Then back in the car Passenger door panel next! Does anyone know of an easy way to wrap the clip button on the center console lid? It's made of the same shoddy soft rubber and is similarly chipped. Quote
fxn Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Looks pretty decent in day light actually, was a bit worried about it after intensely staring at it under the bright lights at home Quote
chocohercules Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 Top job LewsiH Looks great Where did you get the 3m wrap from? I too have the peeling on the cbin flap button, thats why ive been looking to replace the whole cabin lid, but if theres a fix??? Quote
4RE Leather Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Was the previous owner a Woman? My 1st Zed was and her chunky bracelet caused all the damage. It transpired that the 1st owner of my current one was. Mrs as well. It also had scratches in it. Quote
LewisH Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks guys The 3M wrap I used was from Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152-x-60cm-CA ... e6e&_uhb=1 I bought the car from a guy but it has had 3 previous owners and I'm willing to bet one of them was a woman with outrageous jewelry.... or a gangsta that never took his knuckle duster off...

jinxy Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Or you could have painted it like I did, link to guide - Painting guide: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=58937 Quote
