Need advice on how to fix interior scratches *PICS*

The handrest inside my Accord was badly scratched up. Does anyone know a solution I can apply to the plastic interior to rid the scratches?

Any help would be appreciated!

sand down.. then color coat. its a paint that is supposed to "bond" to the surface for a scrach proof finish.

If you really want it to look right, I'd replace the pieces with new ones. Just depends on how bad it bugs you. If money is tight, sure, go for the sand and paint, but it won't turn out like new.

Try sand and paint first.

THe scratches wil still be there but wont be as noticeable.

Junkyard too maybe.

Thanks for the advice. It's a 2D '03 Accord.

Where can I find this paint and what's it's official name? I have thought about replacing the entire handrest but it might be pricey.

how did it get soo scratched? You can get color matched interior paint... Just sand it all down until no more scrathes...even if your sanding an indent, then fill in the indent, primer and paint.
