Re:Does anyone have pictures of re-painted interior plastic trim?

I currently have most of the back trim out whilst I get some rust attended to ( ) but I was thinking, this is an opportunity to tidy up my rear trim. One of the previous owners must have had a dog because there are various scratches and gouges.
I was thinking I could perhaps fill that in somehow, re-texture(?) and spray the whole panel a new colour? Something closer to black a la the Gen 4?

Does anyone have some pictures they can share of an interior plastic trim re-paint job? Attached sample image of the panels I mean.

James will be interested in the result

We have seen some good effect using a heat gun but are not brave enough.

Nice, looking forward to those piccies les.

@mlines my rear trim panels are so dodgy in some places that I don't really mind if the job goes a little wrong. I'd probably exercise more caution if they had no gouges but just looked a little tired / sunbleached.

A heatgun approach was an initial thought though, I could probably melt away the lighter scrapes so they didn't have that horrible white-grey effect scratches make. In fact that might be my first port of call before getting any rattle cans out!

Before and after… it’s very thin and easy to run. Our SJ is very much blacked out so the black dash will suit I think. Overall I’m happy with it. It’ll sit in well with the look we are going for.

Very nice! This is a Gen 2 dash, right? Were they originally black or the same grey-ish colour as the Gen 3 panels in my original post?

Regardless, looks cool - enjoy fitting it all back in
