Spraying Interior Handles - Minor Details

[antnee]

How do you get the window switches off the handles?

 

[Mat]

not finished yet. had bare handles for 3 weeks or so now.

just do em as and when I can be arsed lol

bro mentioned about getting some stuff from work to wrap around finger

although where the switches go aint too important, as it'll be hidden by the switches

 

[Mat]

I bought my swithc from TPS for £15, so its probably as good to get a new one because as soon as you try and adjust the wirrors, it will break the glue

you got a link for the mirror switch?

you will want to clean the switch them properlly because other wise they look a mess mine need to be re-done because they are full of stuff

 

[antnee]

Need to get some finer paper tomorrow

hhmmmm would the handles not look good colour coded to the car bodywork would maybe work on red if your going for a red and black theme on the outside carry it onto the inside...

lke the idea of the wax aswell...

I think colour coded handles looks abit ott to be honest. Each to their own though. I'm halfway through doing mine at the minute, just aswell thier a spare set.

I just used white spirits to strip off the grey rubber, and then polished them up.

Bit of a quick job and i left a few bits out, but it still looks a lot better than before

Only problem is they attract finger prints a lot being so shiney

been meaning to do this forever, finally picked some up off a smashed up cupra (as mine are actually cracked), unfortunately i snapped the corner off one of the handle surrounds removing it, do stealers stock these? and any idea how much they are?

yep - they do. take it in and show them and make sure that they get the right type . . mine was wrong when it arrived. Price? About £4 each I think

 

[Cupra_J_RS]

FYI,

I just ordered few parts from Seat, mirror switch is £18.45 + VAT (or no VAT at the moment).

Part number: E6K2959565A01C

When you use thinners or white spirits to remove the rubber top coating do you soak it in it, rub it with a cloth after putting some on etc? Friend of mine is doing this and he said he painted white spirit on with a brush but it didnt do anything to the coating?

I used nail varnish remover, kept rubbing it with a scouring pad and it started loosening up..it just needs a bit of time to soak

 

[pj1985]

Cool. I told him to let it soak in abit but he's impatient!
