[QUOTE="ssmann, post: 427266, member: 18956"] As I understand, Central Cushion are one of the best and most reasonably priced guys in the market. They seem very professional. Will be seeing a sample this Friday, thereafter will update Plastic/synthetic parts can look like brand new with a respray. Vinyl on the other hand cannot, as it is moulded and the mold can detach with heat. Some points to note on restoring interior parts: - 1. Areas which are in close contact with the skin e.g. arms rest, door handle will fade and scar easily. This is because the substances released by our pores does not agree well with the material and will scar 2. Virtually all internal parts of the car can be resprayed. Vinyl, plastic and to some extent leather parts can be resprayed. Point to note, try to respray to the original colour as close as possible. Reason being, over time there will be scrathes and scruff marks and the ori colour may be exposed. Imagine a black repainted interior over an ori beige one.....yucks!!! 3. Your beloved UDM will be completely stripped and every moving part removed. Pray that every moving part removed is securely fastened in the right spots!!!! [/QUOTE]
