Default interior rubber coating

my 96 seems to have a rubber type coating on the center console area, and it is peeling off a bit. Can this be repaired, or replaced?

Default Re: interior rubber coating (spinedoc)

someone posted a new stuff they found, but requires a compressor to spray on.

I cannot remember what it was called, cause I was interested in it, too.

I have had some success with "Plasti-dip". Spray on or in a can - for brush or dipping.

Plasti-Dip is available at Lowes.

I just peeled mine off, sanded and repainted black, instead of the grayish-black that the rubber stuff is. Looks better I think :D

I used the spray can Plasti-Dip. It's a shade blacker than stock.

I'm not real pleased with the longevity. It's been in about 6 mos and it's starting to peal.

Maybe if I did a better prep-job before I painted it and used more than 3 coats it would be better. I just stripped the old stuff, washed it, and did a light steel wool rub.

It looked OK when it was fresh.

I think there's a TECH TIP for this job.
