Seat Control Trim Plates - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

These trim gets stained and sad looking after 15 plus years in the car.
Easiest way to clean this up is to get a raser blade to pick up one corner and pull up the trim plates (very carefully as not to rip or bend). For seat control, fore and aft, you need to protect the plastic trim, slide a screw driver blade under the sliding switch and pop the piece out.

After trim plate has been removed, wet sand it down with 800 grit followed by thin layers of satin clear spray paint.
I used Pactra plastic model sparay paint.

When fully dry, used double sided scotch tape to re-stick over the control switch assembly.

If any of WAZOO guys need this done, let me know.
I will bring the spray and double stick tape for the next gathering.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for taking the time to share this great tip; mine is in need of some detailing like this.
