Removing scuffs from kickpanels.
I was at the junkyard over the weekend and found a camaro with a black interior. Most of the panels are in pretty good shape, but the kick panels have the regular scruff marks in them. Not big enough to be that noticeable once installed, but they're there. What has everyone used to remedy this?

I used some generic brand, just regular paint for plastics, not sure on the name, simple $4.00 can from Cdn tire.
Matched perfectly, not even myself could tell it was painted, looked perfect, took maybe an hour, left it over night. then I gave it one more hit in the morning, went to work, came home and it was done.

I've used Plasikote in the past. Worked awesome, but I didn't use black, so I dunno how it'd match. Mine came out a little flat, so I hit it with some clear, and it looked just like factory!

Removing scuffs
I used the Dupli-Color Vinyl and fabric paint on mine. I changed my grey panels to tan using this paint. I primered them first and then sprayed the tan. It even left that textured look and still looked factory. I would use the sandpaper also to sand the scuffs out before painting.
