I shared my DIY project on 6speedonline, but thought some people here could also benefit. Like a lot of folks, my new-to-me 997 came with small scratches on the plasti trim surrounding the door handle and window switches. Rather than replace the entire piece and tear my door apart, I decided to plasti dip the trim piece with it still on the car. I'm surprised to how closely black plasti dip matches the factory plastic finish. Anyhow, here are before and after pictures along with a video I made! I highly recommend trying plasti dip for interior repairs, especially if your interior is black.
Finish looks Good! But should have sanded the peeled area down first before spraying, for a perfect finish.
I agree, however, I didn't just in case it turned out really poorly. At least, the trim would be no worse off. Now that I know it's a match, I might sand the trim if I need to redo it.

Dennis: Thanks for sharing your helpful video. I need to fix my door spear too and was wondering how long ago you plasti-dipped yours and how well it's holding up to wear. TIA!
