De- sticky interior question

I did not bother to paint the air vents or the switches. I did paint the shifter bezel with some Rustoleum flat black paint I had sitting around.

 

I used NAPA spray on plasti-dip black. Very light spray gave a perfect uniform texture, much better than the bare plastic and close to OEM.

 

I use... ah nevermind....

 

lol ...................

 

Here is what I used is Rust-Oleum Textured Plastic Black. Found it at Home Depot in Flagstaff was not in Phoenix area. I found using light coats worked best.

Hope this helps

Rustoleum textured, 3 light coats, sealed with clear enamel.
I sanded my parts with 600 grit and wiped down with lacquer thinner prior to painting.

Home Deopt has the spray on Plastic Dip you put on your tool handles. Works great too.

 

I use matt black sparay and it seems lije new

 

What did you use to get the "goop" off?

 

I use Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner for remove the sticky.

It work's perfect, and then spray it!

 

Thank you.

 

What do you spray it with?

 

Hey Dusk.....I did mine last winter using oven cleaner to clean the surface, seemed to work best. Tried various paints and could not really get the kind of finish I wanted -

This winter I am gonna send mine off to "Stickynomore" and get them done right.....I have not been able to duplicate the finish he puts on, absolutely beautiful. Just my .02

And No, I don't know him, just his work.

 

OK, I'll say it.... (ahem)

I want to buy a Ferrari so recently I test drove a 348, nice car, could be faster, but a very beautiful car. I noticed the sticky panels on the console and asked "what's up with that"? I thought somebody spilled Coca Cola in the car. So this thread really caught my attention. I've owned lots of sports cars and never experienced sticky interior surfaces. Are sticky interiors a Ferrari trait? Any ideas what causes the sap to form?

I guess this is a nit, but it was the last thing I expected in a Ferrari. I'll buy one eventually, despite the tack....Wish me luck.

Yes its a trait, easy to fix of have fixed professionally. Cause is exposure to environment.

 

It's not just Ferrari interior parts and not just cars where it happens.

Besides various auto manufacturers having interior parts with this problem, there are plenty of consumer products with the "soft touch" finish that also experience the breakdown of the outer finish. My children when they were younger lost many video game joy sticks and other controllers due to this. I've also seen this occur on the buttons of older (early/mid 90s) consumer electronics and even on the bottle caps of men's cologne (ironically "Ferrari" branded cologne). It's a failure of the soft-touch finish - regardless of what it's applied to.

 

Send us an email when you get the car. We can take care of all those sticky issues.

 

Thanks for the replies. Still looking at 348s, 308s and 400s.
