How to Restore the Color of a Worn Dashboard

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E90, E91 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Dashboard

I will explain how to restore part of your dashboard and various accessories in your car. First, gather a screwdriver and a trim removal tool kit. Let's get started! Use a trim tool to remove the dashboard plastics, then remove the screws from both pieces. After removing the screws, use a trim tool to help pull everything out more easily. Once all plastics are removed, use appropriate scrapers and sandpaper to work on them without removing the old fabric and color, achieving a rough result. Now, get a spray can that matches the color of your interior, clean the pieces to be painted perfectly, leaving no dust, etc. Apply a coat of primer for paint, and after it dries, you can paint everything; once the job is done, your dashboard will look like new. Now you can reassemble everything.
