Hey everyone,

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.

Cheers,
Dennis

Truly impressive!

Thanks for sharing. I have the same issue on driver side but have cocoa brown so I am afraid of the color match.

However it is also a PITA to remove the door trim since I read you have to dismantle everything and then drill some kind of rivets out.

Will probably order a spray can and try it out on a separate piece first.

Well done and thanks for the advice

Very nice, why don't we (or do we) have a dedicate DIY section on this board?

Great idea. I need to do the exact same thing on mine.

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!
