Shaun05 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I've recently picked up some of the interior plastic panels I was after. Unfortunately, one the pieces is a little faded, worn and has a moderate sized crack which I would like to have repaired. Does anyone know of a place that can do interior plastic repair/refurbishment in the Sydney area? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 If you want to try DIY there are plastic glues available and spray pack paint to suit. Or perhaps someone who does plastic welding could help, eg damaged plastic bumpers are routinely welded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun05 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I was hoping to find someone who can do a nice job at plastic welding from the back of the panel. I had taken other stuff to an old guy in Western Sydney who was very good. He ran a little workshop, doing plastic and fiberglass repairs in his garage. I called his number on Friday and sadly, was informed by his wife that he passed away last year. If I can't find someone good, I'll have a crack at some DIY.

ilbert Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 It's not that tricky, soldering iron and cable ties works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter t Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I had all my plastic bits covered in vinyl as they were faded and cracked. Check out my build thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffdy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Another method is to use plastidip. It is easy to apply and no special prep is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun05 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Thanks for the tips guys. Both the vinyl and plastidip seem like decent options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
