I have a 1973 Mach 1 that I'm currently working on.It has the original white interior.All the plastic trim has deep scratches and needs to be restored.I'd like to keep all the original pieces instead of buying reproductions.Does anyone know if it's possible to return the plastic pieces to the original finish?Is there a company that specializes in plastic restoration?
I've looked at the Eastwood catalog and all they have is vinyl dye and spray paints for plastic.I'd like to refinish the trim to include the original grain pattern in the plastic.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Leo

Hey Leo,
The pastic trim is practically impossible to restore. Because its molded, there's no way to put the grain pattern back into the pieces. Its easier and far cheaper to replace with NOS or repro parts.

You may want to check with Just Dashes. They restore dash pads, door trim panels, and other interior items. They may be able to build the plastic trim up and reapply the proper grain...
