Reply To: Sticky Switches

[Lee Moore]

A number of items in the 3200 became sticky, steering column shroud, dash vents etc. I gently cleaned them but this left them looking and feeling like hard plastic (but at least not sticky) so I opted to spray them with a soft touch paint.

I used the Plastidip rubber spray (both black and clear} it has been on for a couple of years and achieved what i wanted although i dont know how robust it is or how long.

There is also another product called tactile which was 2-3 times the price, maybe i was being tight or it was just being unsure if spraying the items would work, but would possibly consider trying this if / when the plastidip finish fails.

That being said I have not used it on switches or dials yet.
