Interior black plastic repair/touch-up ?

[westwind77]

Do they (being any company) make any kind of plastic touch-up material?

I put a couple inch scratch, rather deep but skinny, in the black part of my interior plastic in the back, is there a liquid that will harded to fill these 'mistakes' we all make now and then? I would love to be able to fill them so they do stand out so much. It is a SUV, it WILL get marked up now and then, but why not fix it if you can.

The scratch did not discolor the plastic, cut it, created a void that needs to be filled. Only a liquid or epoxy, or something along those lines, could fill it level so it is not noticeable. The shoe polish sounds interesting, but I was looking for something long term that will not wear away, anyone try that idea?

You pretty much answered your own question. Use epoxy and a straight-edge, wipe off excess

A black crayon may work, depending on the type of damage. Just buff the repair with a rag and a lot of pressure. It can't hurt!

I had an old '89 chevy blazer in high school. When I bought it i noticed the previous owner was hauling hay and horse saddles and such in it. Long story short ... the interior was destroyed.
I literally repainted my entire interior in that truck. I found that custom paint shops had plasticized primers fills and paint. Its basically the paint types used on plastic bumpers. Using a plasticized product is important because every bump or flex in that panel you want to repair is going to shatter an epoxy fill or hard compound.
You should be able to find a plasticized fill compound and spot paint with and airbrush. Harbor Freight has some cheap air brush kits.
Good Luck

They sell these type of kits at AutoZone for vinyl/plastic repair. I've used them in the past with great results! I repaired through and through cracks in plastic with them, I imagine a scratch would be even easier.
