interior HELP!

The plastic interior pieces on my 77 firebird went from a blue to a gray, you can also scratch your name in it along with all the other scrathes. So my question is , can you some how restore the pieces without replacing them, or if they must be replaced where can I get them.

thanks in advance.

Re: interior HELP!

You mean the hard plastic interior pieces, not the soft vinyl, right??
Almost always, this plastic has the same colour all the way through, and it is not a painted colour coat.
So, you likely can remove the top layer of oxidized plastic. Try a soft bristle brush and some soapy water. It may take lots of scrubbing but the layer should come off.
Take care not to use a too-stiff brush since that will damage the embossed fake leather-grain appearance of the plastic.
Finally, after its dried, use Armour-All to really bring up the colour.
Sometimes, it scrubbing will not work, or their is a painted colour layer (GM did this on some light-truck interiors) you can use a spray can of vinyl dye
This works well, if you can find a suitable colour match.
