I am sure most suffer from the flaking and chalky seat backs. I have a set of nice seats but the backs were horrible. This is how "I" redid mine. This is a inexpensive option that looks good and seems very durable. I have done this process on plastic patio furniture that has been holding up outside for 3 years in the snow and all, so I think inside my car will be fine.
Before, they were very bad !!
i started with my trusty DA sanded with some 80 grit on low and very lightly sanded the top layer off. They hit it with some 220 on the DA then a little more by hand. I washed off with the Hose outside and wetsanded it with some 1000 to smooth it out a bit.
I used a high build plastic primer from rustoleinum. It seals the plastic and fills in a lot of small imperfections. I put on 2 coats then lightly sanded it and added a final coat.
After the plastic primer I found a Krylon color that was a very close match to the good trim on the seat, I would say it was a 98% match !!! I put on like 5 light coats and it layed very nicely. I am very happy with result.
So a few pieces of sand paper, $6 in primer and $7.80 in paint. Cheep fix !!!
