Is it possible to repair the interior? I have a couple of small spots where the paint came off. My interior is in excellent shape except these spots in the grey and shale colored areas, can't justify replacing parts.
Thanks

The only real thing to do is to repaint your dash with some SEM paint. they make colors to match OEM.

Which parts of the interior? I'm assuming plastic parts not vinyl or leather.

Glove box (beige color) and where the passenger dash handle is (grey color).

First time actually posting here... been doing a lot of reading as of late. I recently bought some SEM for my dash as it was starting to come off like so many others. USE CAUTION
the original finish will lift. My first attempt failed due to the lifting. I bought some stripper for plastics... yeah, not safe for this plastic. Second attempt failed. I ended up getting some micro fiber suede and covering it. Looks great. If you attempt to paint it, be careful :emotions122:

Thanks for the heads up. I settled on just fixing 1 spot, the worst spot. It is a 3" streak of black on the gray area of the dash and really bothers me. Still not sure what to use. Autozone has a cheap kit that I might try....

that is a vinyl repair kit. that is for fixing leather seats. not plastic dash parts.

just have to make sure you do correctly. should have done research before buying it and figuring out you didn't have the skills or ability to do it

I've been painting cars for 17 years... I've done all the research I need. Your input was unnecessary and uncalled for. I was simply giving someone a heads up. Every scenario is different, but I guess you are Mr. Perfect and Murphy's Law does not apply to you. :flipthebird:
