get rid of scratches on plastic ?

[Francesco Rizzo]

I just tried a bed liner gel to dye the cladding, and it looks like it's gonna come out hot. The thing is the application is a bizatch, I had quite a few streeks. My claddingw as looking really bad, the front bumper was a completely different grey and both ends of the rear bumper had rings fom the plastic being concaved and stretched from backing up into things. Anyway, I finally have all black all the way around, everything matches. It's called forever black, wait till I put some pictures up, this way peeps can decide if they want to go threw the hastle of putting this stuff on.

I restored all of the interior vinyl panels in my '82 Mustang last year using products from The Eastwod Company. I used Plastic Prep, Sand Free Primer, and black Vinyl Coat. Looks great! I don't drive it much, so I can't say how well it will hold up, but sure made a difference in my 'Stang.

I started a new thread, sorry for robbing this one, but look under Severe Cladding Fade, I have a few picks posted, sorry

I tried buffing out the scraches and its a bad idea. The surface of the cladding is darker than what's underneath, and buffing removes the texture. I also tried one of those black dye products that was suggested (on my half moon only thank goodness), and it looked good for about a month. Then it started fading in a splochty way.

Mother's Back to Black is my choice these days.
