Right. I’ve gone and removed most of the snotty trim covering but it’s not leaving the finish i want.

I’ve seen vinyl wrap is an option. The stuff on eBay is the exact colour and very cheap. I think this looks like the sort of finish I’m after. You guys ever done this?


yes, but it looks very different to the soft touch plastics.


You can paint these items with ordinary auto paint, or vinyl paints but you must remove any of the polish that might have been applied.


Getting a good surface finish before applying any of these treatments will be your biggest problem; none of them will mask poor preparation.
