Default Painted seatback repair (scratches)

I have a 997 (991 pictured) with the painted seatbacks in the standard silver matte color (pictured) and it has some pretty large scratches. I tried looking in the forum for repair but didn't see anything. Anyone ever have to "touch up" their seatbacks?

you have to have a body shop paint them, or like you say, you can touch them up. Probibly better off to leave it than mess them up.

Wrap, body shop or touch up by you. If they are not too bad, head out to you local model shop and buy some paint tins. You should be able to get something that hides the scuffs to the untrained eye.

Tins are a few bucks a piece. Dont be afraid to mix and match with a cloth soaked in alcohol to wipe off mistakes. Tamia paints are your friend.

Wrap. To do it right though, you'll need to remove them from the car, which isn't too hard.

If you don't have any CF trim in your interior, you could also wrap in a solid color that complements your exterior color or some other interior trim or trim color.
