Replacing the Worn Out Silver Plastic on SR5 Steering Wheel?

Postby TBJ on Thu, 01 Nov 2018 7:45 +0000

Wondering how I can replace or repair the worn out silver plastic on the sides of the airbags on the steering wheel? mine are worn out and the silver coating has rubbed off and now shows black and for some reason it really triggers me, so wondering if they come off or if I can buy replacements?
Also any suggestions on how to repair holes in the dash?
thanks

I repainted all the silver plastic bits around the doors.....looks okish..........on my old prado mine were really scratched up and I cleaned them down with metho and left them black once the paint cleaned off, but not sure if the plastic in the hilux is actually black underneath............sorry not really a help but there you go.
