Title: seat restoration
Post by: skippyg on November 19, 2013, 09:18 AM

hi guys,

 ive just had a seat delivered that I bought of ebay,its an old kashimax handler,its meant to be white but over the years its gone off white apart from that its ok with no scuffs or scrathes ,I was just wondering the best way to restore it to white
 
 is it best to bleach it or just paint it using vht plastic paint
 
 thanks for any help  :daumenhoch:

The current thinking is peroxide and sun. if its yellowing due to age bleach may not do a great deal. the vinyl paint works a treat but would try the peroxide first  :daumenhoch:

Chubby did a cracking thread on it not long ago  ;D
