Arne Krix Posted 19January, 2022 Report Share Posted 19January, 2022 my missus would have been a passenger in my car not more than 30 times in the last few years. But she managed to thoroughly scratch the plastic doorsill to buggery. Some deep cuts and plenty of scratches. I was to buy a new sill and replace , but I thought I might try to recondition the existing , and see how it turns out . The result is spectacular , came up as new. The process: sanded with 120 and than 180 grid the main cuts and scratches. Then to 800 and 900 grid to get a smooth surface. Sprayed primer and cut with 1500 and 2000 grid wet . Gave me a real smooth finish. 3 coats of Dulux Epoxy Enamel Black satin. That shit takes 2 days to cure , but it is hard and won't scratch to easy. Very happy with the result . Now tackling driver side.👍 Stepo, P-Kay, Philbee and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 19January, 2022 Report Share Posted 19January, 2022 I would think that bumper filler such as https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/isopon-isopon-plastic-bumper-repair----100ml-tube/545158.html would be suitable for any really deep scratches too?? Great job though Arne!! Arne Krix and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a once over with wet 1500/2000 grid and it’s smooth as a babies bum😀 Philbee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
