There are some old threads on this but new products emerge and the experience base changes, so seems worth revisiting. I have at least one interior bit (the rubber horn pad) that has a bit of sun fade and could benefit from a refresh.
It seems SEM is still the go to product according to people who seem to know what they are doing. VHT has a Vinyl Dye which they say is a true dye rather than a paint. That seems like it would have some advantageous but doesn't appear to have the following of SEM. Anyone have experience with either of these products? Also wondering about color match. SEM lists three blacks: Gloss, Satin, and Landau. I'm guessing Landau would be the one to use in a black interior 914. Or would it be better to have my local paint shop mix up some PPG vinyl paint to the OEM interior code? Any wisdom to share? |

Brent, I used the SEM brand on my center seat cushion/console. I used the
Satin at time. Very pleased with it. Make sure to use their prep surfacer for this task. I also used recently “Rustoleum” brand on Nicks 944 interior just the faded rugs actually. I’m sure wear on the rugs will require a retreat. Eastwood makes a plastic resurfacer but I think it’s meant for exterior and is only matte black currently. |
