Help! I scratched my Window Console plastic

krndanic307 · 03-01-2006, 05:12 PM

As the title says... Can anyone tell me how I could repaint or do something about that plastic? This plastic paint sucks! I was cleaning it and it scratched off. I'm talking about that handle in the drivers side where you put ur hand to close the car.

The area where you have the buttons to open the front and rear windows, to control you're side mirrors, and to lock the windows.

my girlfreinds dod did the same to mine. i just deal with it, if you cant, just buy some touch-up paint and apply it with a nail-polish brush.

pic?

what are you using to clean?

i find when cleaning the interior, water and a microfiber cloth seem to get the job done for the most part.

It happened on my E46, but only after a lot of use.

It really shouldn't flake off like that...

Pictures though?? If you have time.

it's really not THE popular area people look at so i wouldn't worry about it too much. if you are though, i'd rather try to look for a spare part instead of repainting it. hopefully it's made in a way where you only replace the top, which i would imagine shouldn't be too expensive.

I took it to a bodyshop.. Bodyshop called BMW... BMW said that's a whole piece. That's in with the door pannel. So... to replace that.... I have to replace the whole door pannel which costs around 650$

We need a picture.
Also, in the United States our currency is pronounced $650.

You forgot to add the 'gosh' at the end of that Napoleon D (your avatar).
