Not so fantastic plastic.

[sonar]

As the title says. Plastics loose there colour over a period of time.
so here are a few plastic bits that need repairs and painting.

rather than get out the air compressor / Gun and buy more paint that than I need can anyone suggest
some suitable plastic spray paints in the rattle cans please.
white gloss would do the job. Something that for sure will have to wait for the better weather.

I know the skirts and rear bumpers need doing at a later date after a few remedial and repair works have been done.

Will post on them later.

The electic cover is easy to replace.You can get them online cheep.Rattle can for plastic easy to buy.Try googling Paint suppliers near you.They can usually make up a can for you in most colours

Ordinary car rattle cans work fine providing you use a plastic primer first (also in rattle cans). As said best to replace the mains & water inlets only about 20 quid each.

Did exactly that with ours, replaced the cheaper vents etc and water inlet with new and then used a rattle can spray over plastic primer for the other parts. Look like new now, just wait for a warm day to do it.
Tried the quack remedies of peroxide, toothpaste, scraping off the top surface etc but frankly all a waste of time.

Solabac will get the grime off but once badly discoloured it's hard to get it white.
I wouldnt even contemplate painting the leccy flap and toilet frame, just swap for new.
I'm sure the brake light housings were available from somewhere (olearys,magnum ebay) when I got my used van in 2016 but I didn't bother replacing it

if i was replacing or repainting, i think i would seriously consider getting/doing a different colour. Grey might look better for longer ...?

Eurocell do rattle cans for plastics,no need for a primer. Around £15 for a large can, buy online for cheaper price.
