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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Next Mini-project is replacing the threshold trim piece that encloses the bonnet/engine lid switches. I'd like some advice on the nest way to remove the current finish and what "paint" would be the best match to the current finish - thanks

POST 2Original post

isopropyl alcohol and a scotchbrite pad will take it off. Just stripped and refinished my console (using SEM color coat)using this method. I'm contemplating refinishing my sills also. You could just strip the soft touch finish off and leave them black. "Sticky no more" could refinish them for you in soft touch but ultimately it will just scuff off again.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Lorraine, stripping 'em sounds like the plan.

POST 4Original post

You know, if we just mandated that we drive and your passenger are barefoot we wouldn't need to worry about scuffing the sills up .

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A nice afternoon project. Looks much better.

POST 6Original post

What did you do? Magic eraser?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As "wolds" suggested: " 91% isopropyl alcohol and a scotchbrite pad" - takes off the finish and leaves the underlying plastic threshold in a its naked beauty.
