Is there any way to remove scratches from the plastic arm rest section of the back seat?

It's 86 TA

Or should I just trash em, I'm converting the interior to gray anyway, but maybe if I can clean em up, I could get a few bucks for em.

Thanx

 

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about

 

I'm thinking you can but it wont look like the same piece of plastic. I would try and lightly sand it down. Other wise I dont think there would be a way.

 

pretty messed up isn't? my dog will NEVER be allowed in my car again!

 

My firend had the same problem. So we went to napa autoparts and found this paint thats made for bumpers. We're still testing it to see if scratches, fades, and/or chips. Other then that its looks brand new.

 

U can try to lightly sand the actualy scrates a litle bit and buy vinyl dye the one that is in a spray paint like can. its just dries flexible unlike spray paint. it looks great and very hard to tell the diffeerece if u take your time. and alot cheaper than a new interior if its not too badly messed up from the ppoch kev

 

I guess they can't look any worse than they already do huh?
Thanx for all the tips

 

No not really u will be surprised how good they can come out my 70 stang was all original and looked great after I redid it. saved alot of money and no one ever knew

 

or goto a junk yard and see if they have any ones in that color.
Ill take a look around for tan insides b/c i need some parts.

 

I already found the whole gray interior that i need, was just hoping to clean these up a bit and get a few bucks for em, If they don't turn out, I can always throw them away.

BTW: After I sand it slightly, do i have to primer it in some way?
Thanx

 

where you at in Jersey??? I probably have some of the gray pieces that you are looking for. Just let me know if you are interested.

I have all of the back hatch area up to and including the speaker area. Send me a PM or something ... maybe we can meet up.

No u dont need to primer them just make sure they r clean and nop soapy residue either

 

Looks like you had an aligator in your back seat.

 

well theres not too many aligators up here in NJ lol

 

Just a thought (experiment on a scrap piece first)...

You could sand- or possibly shell-blast (ground walnut shells) the whole exposed area to give it a uniform appearance again. You could then spraypaint with a vinyl dye.
