Interior handle coating removal ?

[markl]

Would like to give my handles a lick of paint
But what is the best way of removing the coating or is it best to sand them down?

Or better still what's the price of a new set from vw?

Soak them in Isopropanol overnight Buddy, then it should come off fairly easy but to be honest a new set from TPS would only be about £30. And i think the new stuff doesnt have that crappy soft touch stuff on that the older tourans had.

I do have a few sets that i will be dipping soon in carbon fibre if your interested.

I had a Lupo a while ago with shabby rubberised handles, I sanded the rubber off then polished the black plastic on a bench grinder polishing mop, ended up a really nice high gloss black.

I have messaged you regarding carbon dipping
Along with my stereo surround but funds are tight at the mo and just want to get the
Van back on the road
Out of interest how much would the handle set cost delivered
Bare in mind I need it for the touran 2 switch door cards
Thanks

This option might be tempting
Thanks

I had a go with the stuff in the pic. I'm fitting a Touran dash, and this is one of the trims that had the soft touch goo on it. I rubbed the trim with a cloth soaked in the liquid. Nothing abrasive was required, so the raw plastic finish is nice and smooth. I gave the plastic a rinse and then a go over with some fine polish. It takes some elbow grease, but came out nicely.

Toothpaste does a grand job of shining the plastic up after stripping.
