Great video thank you! Iv had this problem on so many of my older BMWs and cant believe how easy it would have been too fix. I have spent hundreds on new dash and door trims. Keep up the good work and thanks again.

[@TheBimmerFixer]

You're very welcome and thank you for your comment. I hope you can now complete this trim repair and don't have to buy anymore trim parts.

[@healthwealthyou8590]

Great video mate! I'm so impressed!! I have just bought a replacement trim part for $80 I will definitely be returning it and doing this! Thanks again keep up the good work.

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Thank you glad it helped 👍 Hope you manage to get a refund on that new trim.

Actually wow! That looks amazing

[@williamhawk5429]

Yeah like Nick said good shout about the stove paint. Looks great and its really tough iv used it on the bits on the dash too.

Excellent video and worked perfectly. Thank you

Excellent video, picking up my first BM in a few days time (E90 M Sport) , I thought it was just mine that suffered with the peeling wheel surround but after viewing a few I realised it must be a 'thing'...was going to dip it as I have in the past with gun stocks and a few bike bits but glad I found your video, double thumbs up!!

[@LexicalNoScope]

Just did this and it actually worked really well.Thanks a bunch!

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Great stuff! You're welcome buddy!

[@markperez406]

Great video! I just wrapped my peeling e92 trim in matte black vinyl and it turned out great. For my e90 with peeling trim I think I’ll try using this method as it seems very durable. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽👍🏽

[@dubatv5019]

Well done mate! Final result looks great! Going to do it on my bimmer

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Thank you mate! Awesome!

[@ciarx.a5009]

The acetone helped! Thanks!

[@TheBimmerFixer]

You're very welcome 😊

[@jmoe2060]

Greetings from the U.S. and thanks for the video. I'm going to look at an e92 out of town next week and it has the same issue. It's a shame to see something like that in such a fine car but most every car model has some sort of minor inherent cosmetic flaw. Seeing how easy this one is to fix will make it much less of a concern for sure.

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Hi there, glad to be of help to our friends across the pond!

[@taffyappletv3143]

Great video - I am just about to do a Z4 M Sport wheel in the same way as part of a detailing job before selling on. I am now thinking of doing all the internal metal trim with the same paint as I prefer the Matt Black over the silver. Thanks for the inspiration 👍

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Thank you! Yeah go for it! I did that in my e46, looked like new after! It doesn't take too long too and will make such a difference to the look of the interior. Your very welcome and good luck! 👍

[@PritchyTurbo2000]

Just about to give this a go, Thanks for the helpful info!

[@TheBimmerFixer]

You're very welcome buddy! Let me know how you get on 😃👍

[@DameAndThatGame]

tip for the sport badge, drill small hole in back from behind, use something to push of stiicker from back, (gel sticker pretty stiff) and bamb, perfection :), thanks for the solvet tip, i used hot water and was a pain

[@TheBimmerFixer]

@DameAndThatGame Amazing advice thank you!!👍🏻

[@matthewnicholas6365]

I was about to wrap mine in carbon wrap to hide the scratches and everything I've inherited but will give this a try first!

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Hi Matthew thanks for your comment. Yeah definitely give it a go! It will be worth getting the coating off anyway so if you do decide to wrap it you will get a much better finish.

[@matthewnicholas6365]

@@TheBimmerFixer so I tried it out on a spare peice of trim yesterday. Wasn't too fussed about my paint skill, it was more a rest of colour for my E46. Which is very, curiously close! But what I've found is the paint seems to scratch/mark easily. Just a finger nail will leave surface marks on it. Did you find the same or has something not worked on mine?

[@razlovrazlov7382]

Hey, i would recommend you one more way to remove the old paint. Take the brush and DOT4(could be the used one) and take it all over the item. Next leave it alone for about 10-15minutes and after this time take the dish sponge. Pour the hot(but not boiling) water to the basin and add some dish cleaner. With the rough part of sponge get the old paint off.

[@TheBimmerFixer]

@razlovrazlov7382 Hey, that's a great idea! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@christiano8088]

Damn, sorry your steering wheel got the peels dude, but WOW! Great job, it looks amazing. 👏

[@TheBimmerFixer]

@Christian O... Hi Christian, thanks buddy!! 👍🏻

[@mtlnikeplug-rz6rp]

Idk if i put too much i wrapped in in dry scott paper and poured the liquid on it making sure it was on all the surface sanded it in 150 amd finished it in 320 pretty happy with the results even tho here in canada ended up costing me 60$ for everything lol but its cool i discovered a new skill and i even re-sanded it to make it cleaner cause i had "scratches" that the nail polish made in the plastic that were deep i used some potty and sanded it and repainted it and im satisfied with the result!

[@TheBimmerFixer]

@mtlnikeplug-rz6rp Well done for giving it a go and getting a result you're satisfied with. I like how you went the extra mile with the putty to get a better result! 👌👍🏻

[@martinf3401]

Great video will try and give this ago in my e83

[@TheBimmerFixer]

@Martin F Thank you for the feedback Martin😊. Let me know how you get on with your e83 👍🏻

[@svoicouk]

What acetone did for me is it sort of melted the rubber and made in very solid and still sticked to the plastic, which made it harder to remove.

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Really!! Ok thanks for the info! 👍

[@aarvin1]

I used Thinner it worked well

[@shanaqi]

@@aarvin1 how long did you let Thinner on it?

[@aarvin1]

@@shanaqi I let it on there till it peeled the paint

[@DanielHarrisCodes]

Great video guide, although I might just try and buy a replacement trim, seems like it would be a lot quicker - However I'm betting it won't be cheap even for a simple piece of plastic with an M-Sport badge so may change my mind and follow this instead 😂

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Thanks Daniel. Yeah I know what you mean I was thinking of doing the same but tried this first. The cost of a genuine part was silly amounts 😂

[@JonnyD3ath]

Over £100

[@residuevideos]

Can you share the nail polish remover specs? What brand? Aceton free and what else? Couldn't get understand what you just said because of your beautiful British accent. :D

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Sure! The brand shouldn't be a problem any remover should be ok. I haven't used a remover with acetone but would imagine it's just as good maybe even better. Oh and thank you 😋

[@kennedydromgool7946]

I think I may have left mine in the acetone too long ... the plastic literally started to melt . After a lot of sanding I managed to get it back smooth...ish . Stove paint looks mint though 👌🏾

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Great recovery 👍glad you managed to sand it back smooth and its looking mint 😀

[@vdia247]

Great video, what did you use to peel off faster again please?

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Thank you for your comment, I used nail varnish remover. Works a treat, the longer it sits on the trim the easier it comes off. 🙂

[@vdia247]

Thanks..

[@Farseer1995]

Good effect, thanks for the video. What about Audi interior "plastic" that's soft to the touch and can easily come off with your finger nail? Are there any products other than your typical spray paint that could help bring back that feel?

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Farseer1995 Thank you for your comment and your welcome. The Audi is the same if not worse. In the summer heat it can peal just by itself it's crazy. I have seen some other products online and did try one years ago. It was a spray on plastic but I found that to be as bad as the original paint. I found that the Matte spay paint gave me the best finish and was the most hard wearing. Hope this helps 👍

[@mtlnikeplug-rz6rp]

Listened to this guy did the exact same thing same brand of nail polish to be sage and this shit ate the plastic of my trim fucked it all up and ive only left it for about 15 minutes i been sanding crazy for 30mins to remove all the dents it made

[@TheBimmerFixer]

@mtlnikeplug-rz6rp Sorry to hear that 😟 I wonder why it's done that, I can only imagine something has changed in the nail varnish remover. I might have to try it again with that same nail polish remover to see what happens.

[@Basaljet]

For a “prestige” car this original finish belongs in the 70s

[@dailygameclips2411]

Seems like all German cars are made this way

[@robertoperry7337]

hi,can i know wich kind of product did u used for remove the film ?tnx,and vary good work .

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Hi Roberto thanks for the comment. I used nail varnish remover it works really well. The longer you leave it on the plastic the better it works. Good luck 👍

[@titus2589]

Would it not be okay to use a few coats of plastic primer and then a few coats of matte black paint???

[@sel2179]

I’ve got the same problem

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Yeah it's a common very problem but use the tips in the my video and you'll have it looking as good as new! 👍

[@335garage7]

Should the battery be disconnected ? or would that matter being as I don’t want a mishap or anything with the air bag.

[@TheBimmerFixer]

If you are in any doubt then I would recommend you do. I took a chance because I have radio codes if it reset itself and could fix any issues if something did go wrong. Let me know how you get on and thanks for your comment.

[@petercan1020]

I see you use a stove or barbecue paint does it give it that soft touch feel?

[@TheBimmerFixer]

It does in a way, the more coats the better and softer it will be. It wont be as soft as the original but it doesn't peel like the original either. 👍

[@mgt739]

I'm going to wrap mine in Vinyl, hopefully easier and longer lasting than this solution. fingers crossed

[@mgt739]

vinyl worked a treat. highly recommended.

[@TheBimmerFixer]

That's great! Thanks for letting us know how it went. 👍

[@jshk877]

What's the name of vinly remover

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Hi, you can use any nail varnish remover with or without acetone 👍

[@jshk877]

@@TheBimmerFixer Many thanks buddy 👍

[@TheBimmerFixer]

You're welcome no problem matey😊

[@NWRefinishing]

Did u scuff it putting it back in ?

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Hi spaceman, no got it back on ok. I was careful but that paint is really tough so it can take a knock or two so that definitely helped.

[@NWRefinishing]

The Bimmer Fixer respect bro, ive got a 320 touring e91 can u get the rubberized paint for the door cards its peeling next to the window controls and its grey colour ?

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Hi Spaceman, thanks again for your comment. I had the same problem in my e46, that was a dark grey. I couldnt find the right colour grey so I stripped it like the steering wheel and painted it black with the same paint as the steering wheel. It looked awesome so I did all the trim to much. Might be worth doing that Spacman, it will be worth it and you wont have to worry about it peeling again. 👍

[@bendjischan]

Hi, thanks for the video, I ve done everything like you describe. Now there is one problem with the stove spray, it says that it will be hard only if you warm it up to 250°C. Is there any way to make it without destroying the plastic piece?

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Hi there, your very welcome. I found using a hair dryer worked great! Give that a go if you can 👍

[@bendjischan]

Thanks, finally I used the technical dryer (for heating up to 350°C) and it worked very well.

[@dhicks1964]

You didn’t show painting it. Would have helped.

[@TheBimmerFixer]

Sorry about that Denise. If I do any painting videos I will be sure to film the painting process too. Thank you for your comment.
