While installing my stereo, I left acouple light scratches in the dash (dark grey/blackish stuff) and was wondering if subaru made a pen or marker or somethign tofix this? ANY HELP would be great as they are highly annoying.
I know this is not as cost effective as the touch up paint but if it is just the piece around the radio that can be replaced. I am sure it is not very cheap but if it is really bad you may want to consider it. If you do find a price for the part let the rest of us know, I am kinda crurious myself.
static, a uselful trick for dash and vinyle touch-ups that has worked for me is to get a pen with some sort of plastic lid, and then press the plastic against the mark you made, if u do this correctly, u will see that the plastic will mold in the mark and it will become unoticable.
or try using the butt end of a screwdriver... i learned this trick from a car stereo friend about 10 years ago when i helped him install a gigantic subwoofer box into a hatchback.
he scraped the plastic. he then used the butt end of a screwdriver to rub out the scratch... i'd say it was close to 90% gone...
crap.. the scrapes are now smooth, but still there. Any idea? It looks like you'd have to have some kinda of coloring to go over them to fix the problem.
dangit no more suggestions? I might try to find a black or dark grey sharpie and give it a whirl... or better yet try something like a dark dark pencil ... i've made most of them smooth out and dissapear, but... its still there
Can the guy that PMed me about the can of color matching dash paint please pm me back? My box was accidently cleared and I cannot find you pm about hte paint you have. Thanks!
