Thumbs up Faded plastic parts...I have a solution for you

Got my three cans from Eastwood today..

Three days thanks to FED Ex and they were here this morning on the front porch..I couldn't have picked a closer match...

I found out on the first one it very easy to slide the seatbelt out of the loop by leaving the top screw in and carefully prying a gap open at the bottom while sliding the seatbelt out...this is how faded they are..the very worst looking thing inside the car...I will not paint and prep until Saturday..Thanks Ron for the info

Done

Before: I scrubbed with soapy water...and inserted toothpick to keep the halfs from sticking together...sprayed and wiped off the prep and let them dry...

After: I sprayed it with the sand free then three light coats of color 5 minutes apart...the temp was 73 degrees so they dried fast....

Looks new to me..I also like how it leaved the grain detail alone..I will take two more pics later on when I put them back on the seats..

I was told not to buy from Eastwood and you can find it locally...you got any ideas where locally you can buy SEM products...I have never seen it at any of the box autoparts stores...Eric

PPG Stores ? I would think so. But store owners,managers or company buyers make those decisions.
