Hondasucks Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Yeah, you have to get the really good stuff though or it wears off. I have heard of plastic restorer that's supposed to restore faded plastic, but I dunno where to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The Krylon Fusion plastic paint works awesome. I painted the "4WD" on the back of my Brat's mudflaps about 3 years ago and it still looks like the day I painted it. I'm sure it would be awesome on interior as well.

Phizinza Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I made one for my Brat recently too. Heres the pictures. http://www.offroadingsubarus.com/images/temp/shifter_boot.jpg http://www.offroadingsubarus.com/images/temp/subaru_for_sale_interior4.jpg The old one torn and I pulled it out a long time ago. But the rubber boot under it had a hole and I got a fair bit of road noise through it. I didn't care much but then I got around to doing the cover because I kept getting splashed inthe face by water making its way up and around the shifter linkages and propshaft! I was quite happy with the finished project. Its just vinyl though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsboy Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Ill second the Krylon Fuzion. Nice stuff. As far as plastic-restorer, we have some stuff at the shop that works nice, but its professional-grade. Sale to the public is like 150 bucks a gallon (or so our distributer says) *pukes* armor-all = CRAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
