i just went to my local auto paint store and picked up some interior paint in a rattle can. You can also try using a heat gun and that will sometimes bring the finish back. I don't like doing that for fear of melting the trim though.

Re: Can i repair these?

Are you referring to the plastic trim pieces like ones around window and back seats? Is the paint faded or is it coming off in a thin film? Any pics?

Spray can paint will work fine. I used some on a window trim piece. Other way is to buy SEM vinyl paint and spray every interior piece with a gun. More costly but results will be the best.

Yes im talking about the ones by the rear seats i think if u look in my album the project you will see the pieces. But idk what they are doing its like u can just take ur finger nail and scratch the dry spots and it comes off like dust crap.

Dry-Rot.


I've removed layers of dry-rot by washing with water and scrubbing with an SOS pad. The discoloration usually remains - but the texture is much improved & it will quit leaving that dust crap all over the place !

Unless the car is a daily driver - better start looking for replacement panels !

Ok I see the panels in the picture that you are referring to. Seems weird the plastic would dry rot but I guess it's possible if car was exposed to moisture. I agree with John on finding replacement panels. Interior panels are pretty abundant. Try looking at classifieds on this site or craigslist.

Didn't some earlier cars have fabric on panels? I thought that cars which did had fabric over every piece in the rear. Could it be that fabric was removed and glue left behind?
