For the permanent stains, I disassemble and lightly
sand the parts and
then tack rag them. I get the cheap stain finish paint that Walmart
sells (since it has toluene base and will soften into the plastic and
stay for good) and repaint the whole piece with the applicable paint.
They have a black, light grey, tan and off white that match the original
colors nearly to the T. I let them dry very well, usually overnight to
make sure that nothing has softened, and then wipe them down good with a
damp rag to get rid of the excess spray dust and then reassemble. I use
denatured alcohol to clean them prior to painting to make sure there
isn't any oily stuff left.
Russ,
That sounds like a great idea for smooth surfaces but what about
surfaces that have a pebble finish?
