Default Finally A Use for Nissan's Brake Dust

I have a Daytona Blue Roadster with the black panel surrounding my radio. Some how a small spot on the plastic panel on top of my radio below the Nav door got rubbed off and was grey. I looked around for maybe some plastic paint and didn't find any. I also figured that if I used paint that it wouldn't look right. I then noticed the brake dust on the inside of my rim looked like a pretty good match. I dabbed a little on the tip of my finger then rubbed it on the grey spot. After 2 applications it blends in pretty good and you have to look hard to tell its there. I didn't know that plastic panel was painted.

Default Nissan's New Powder Coating

We can all collect our brake dust and market it as a new powder coating material. I wish a larger spot would have rubbed off where I could take it to the dealer and see if I could get a new panel. It was a real small spot but I am a detail oriented person and like to keep everything down to the smallest detail looking as good as possible. I think the dust is better than any paint that I could have bought and the dust was free.

Submit this to "Hints from Heloise" and maybe she'll send you a copy of her new book.
