Looking to restore some of my black plastic interior pieces. My first thought was to use a good UV protected spray paint but I've noticed that some black sprays have a different tone to it; most apparent in direct sunlight. I guess the best way I can describe it is a very-faint brown vs. true black. Wondering if anyone out there has found a good black spray that matches the interior factory black?
Adding a couple of youtube links I found: one is a proper method of re-spraying. The other using a heat gun.... which I NEVER heard of but seems interesting. Interior Plasitc Re-Spray Interior plastic restore using Heat Gun --------------------  |

I've had good luck with the Dupli-Color stuff before on colour changing, so I'm sure it'll be great for restoring. It's all in the preparation.
I didn't watch the heat gun one, but if I had to guess you barely melt the surface to bring the glossiness back. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
