peeling vynil

hi all, I got my first turbo last week and so thrilled with it, such a joy to drive and completely in love with it, my first porsche was bought 2 years back (2011 PDK Boxster S) and I sold it to get this 2008 911 Turbo Convertible

I need a small help since small parts of the red paint in the interior peeled off (scratched I assume or probably heat) and would appreciate if anyone can help me find a cure for that if possible (sorry if this was discussed earlier but please direct me to the thread place) )

cheers
ahmed

that's not vinyl. That's paint. Porsche has perfected the "look-alike" treatment on almost every interior component.

Thanks for the correction, is there a paint solution that can fix it? It is irritating indeed

yes. There's a DIY solution that users seem to be very happy about. Either here or on another forum posters have given the details. Do a search and you might find the threads...interior paint repair, interior vinyl repair...etc

congrats on your vehicle!!

there are guys in dubai who restores interior + leather etc. Prices differ from shop to shop. If you want to do DIY, try plastidip.

Thanks maverickdxb, it's an incredible ride

I found transparent plastidip at Ace but couldn't find red will keep checking as it seems an easy to use DIY fix...

I also came across a place called color Glo but I am yet to goto al quoz and check it out...

thanks Tareq for the tip, I am unable to respond to your pm since it seems I have to at least post 15 responses before I can pm
