Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

My talented paint guy has been working on a few parts the last few weeks for me; from my 987.1 : The main part i wanted re-finishing was the centre console. Which has that wretched rubberised finish as standard. So he's stripped, prepped, primed, painted and lacquered; in body colour (Meteor Grey): We then decided to 'attack' the scuffed plastic sill protector strips. He sanded back the marks from feet scraping, re-applied the texture....and with some skill mixed up a few trial combinations of Satin / Matt lacquer until he exactly matched the stock finish: We then decided to do the exterior vent covers. Seeing as the exterior plastics are 'matt', the decals and badges are also matt black - but the paint is obviously Gloss !.....we decided to do the vents in a Satin Black finish rather than being body colour as standard. Hopefully they should fit in well...... Just need to get these parts fitted - and then it's onto the "dreaded" rear main seal (Which i have a drip from) :-( Then i'm "Summer-ready". Stay safe folks and happy P-car'ing..........

POST 2Original post

Very nice, great job - it's a new car now. What IMS are you going with ? no bearing and direct oiler is best in MHO.

POST 3Original post

You probably know this, but the IMS can not be replaced on 987/M97 engines without splitting the case.

POST 4Original post

Didn’t realize which car he had Hope he knows

POST 5Original post

How do you prep the console for paint? Do you just sand down the finish to the base plastic?

POST 6Original post

Degrease, sand lightly, clean with preps all, prime and finish coat. Any good body shop can hook you up with the right stuff.

POST 7Original post

Pretty sure he was talking about the RMS not the IMS
