Plasti-Dip Interior

[Undisputed]

Probably a stupid question, but has anyone ever thought of taking off the buttons that are peeling and re-spraying them with plasti-dip?
That's kinda like what's on there already right? Isn't it an extremely thin coating of a rubber like material?

Just curious, I'm obviously bored at work.

Yeah I would also like to know if this is possible. Many of my buttons are starting to peel and its making my interior look like shit.

sharpee is your friend.

+1 Rather that than doing Plasti Dip.

Really? A Sharpee? I would think that the wet ink would dry strange and not look good. What about when it's really hot? It doesn't come off onto your hand?

[El_Chapusca]

Some people have had done this, search around I believe pictures were posted somewhere but I cant remember where. Like ehfour said if money isnt an issue just replace them and take better care of them next time.

I have very little peeling in my interior. PO took very good care of her. I was just wondering how it would come out. Does anyone have a link to ehfour's thread?

my ESP button is starting to peel but no other buttons have peeled. It would be interesting to see how the plastidip worked out, my concern is how would you guys keep the same symbols on your buttons and make sure they still illuminated the proper way to match everything else in your car.

damn, did i really spell "sharpie" wrong?

[n7plus1]

^yes, yes you did. haha

My first guess would be to find some way to cut tiny pieces of tape or something so that they would act as a stencil.

just buy new haha the disposable society we are in haha. Does anyone have pictures?

I tried before but, it was a fail because I tried to sand the console before I sprayed it and the sand paper marks were still showing after the spray. I think that was mostly the grit, but for anyone trying this in the future, just use acetone to take of the old layer of rubber. The plasti-coat was't as thick I as I thought it would be and even in the areas where I didn't sand you could still tell the difference between the plasti-dip layer and old rubber layer. I think I just gonna get a new console myself, but if I do, I just try it again on my old one.

Do search, for Plasti-dip console, the pics should still be good.
