I have a 2008 350z when i bought it.It came with some interior door handle scratches. is there a good fix for this problem i understand that it is not a uncommon problem with the 350z.

 

sand primer paint... easy

 

the question is, what color would match oem best.

 

Duplicolor. Check this post for the specific paint to buy:

i used black fabric vinyl paint perfect oem match... I may redo mine to match the mag. black car color

 

Doesn't Nissan sell door handle finisher?

 

yes but it still has the same cheap paint.. needs to be fixed and the duplicolor vinyl/plastic black is the closest we've found to oem

 

Thanks for the help. And l2iceman the pic of the before and after looked grate i will give it a shot.

 

good luck! I'm painting my centre console with the same paint sometime this spring/summer.

 

Close thread.

 

Definitely don't sand, primer and paint.
Did mine the other day , scrape as much as you can off with whatever you wanna use, I used a CD lol (bored at work) then take remaining material off with wax and grease remover so it's bare down to the shiny gray layer . scuff it with a scuff pad and use vinyl paint, it's tehnically not spray paint. I got mine at NAPA its about $10 , company called SEM makes it, you may have to ask for it. Takes no more than a half hour per piece

 

I sanded primered and painted with vinyl fabric paint looks perfect.. So definitely sand prime and paint

 

Looks good redline. Might give this a try this month

 

Ehh.... whatever floats your boat I guess. But that takes forever and costs more , sanding that rubbery stuff is a pain in the *** and trying to get in the button crevices is even worse. Just my opinion of course.

 

Oh I forgot to mention to take the buttons out they're just clipped in , flat head pocket screwdriver or two does the trick . thanks drvqz good luck

 

The product looks like this, that's all you'll need .
This stuff is not like the stock soft touch material, it doesn't peel.

 

There's a 3M trim paint in flat black that comes out great, I did my drivers handle and it still looks perfect.

 

I found Color Bond LVP refinisher for leather vinyl and plastic to be a real good match for my 350Z interior. The color I chose is #244 Honda Black. When I looked at my Honda interior it looked like the same color to me. I've got 8 cans of paint here and tested all and held them against my lid cover (various Black and Graphite colors). After spraying the lid I can't see a difference at all in color even the sheen matches. You can find the paint on Amazon/eBay/Summit it's a little on the pricey side but hides in two coats and is a perfect match. I didn't even have to paint the whole lid I just sprayed some in a cup and brushed it on and I can't tell in bright sun that it's been touched.
