To the author - Please write materials used in the description. Thanks
I’ve done this to all my e46’s great way to make your interior look fresh as hell ! And cheap no need to spend money on new parts 💯
That old matte texture goo comes off with alcohol and elbow grease. Thanks for sharing the tear down - I will be pulling mine for the same job....
alcohol?
@@emanueladamache7034 99% isopropyl alcohol. And, it takes awhile. Sanding with a 3M gray scuff pad soaked in this alcohol works 5x faster
@@JohnFaire thanks for the reply
I just removed all the black goo from the trim on the console and buffed it with Clean Green, which gave it a beautiful matte finish, no respraying or paint was needed. 👍
@@JohnFaire I litetslly used my fingernails to scrape the black goo off and buffed it to a matte funish with a microfibre cloth and Wynns Clean Green. I do not know why BMW had to put the black tar like crap over the trim to begin with.IMHO, you just create a future PITA for yourself by covering it in any spray or chemical compound again after removing all the gunk ftom it in the first place, the simpler the solution to the problem, the longer it will last.
Makes the whole car look brand new!
nice video quick and informative and you didnt even say a word lol
Hiya, what's the tune??? I really love it
Thanks. I was looking for this
Nice work! I need to do this for my m3 on my channel!
Driver's Side I want to buy M3 ♥️
Go to 2:50 if you obviously realize you have to take the parts out of the car to work on them first.
Very simple yet informative video, thank you.
What sandpaper grits did u use
Jest i polski akcencik ;) lakier bezbarwny
Good idea
hahaha...martins PC and CAR tips...new channel...nice...LOL,looks like you had fun in dubai too...hope you are well mate...havn't seen a build from you in a while...???
Lars loves Tech hahaha thanks, but I am in Denmark now haha 😂
if there are chrome pices which should not be painted put lipstick or balsam over them so the paint wont stick then you can scrap the lipstick off
Nice
Name of this amazing track pls🔥🔥
Thanks.... very good video...
Perfect 🔥🔥🔥👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Dasz radę podać mi jakieś info jakiego papieru ściernego dokładnie użyłeś? Bo niewiem jaki kupić żeby zdrapać tylko tą pierwszą warstwę a nie uszkodzić plastiku
Legancka robota
I need the song name! 😂 Awesome job tho'!
Cool exactly what I want to do.
wow perfect
Is that matt color or glossy
you can remove that soft coat of rubber with ipa or ethil alcohol instead of painting
does it look like shit though? i have a tan interior pieces and underneath it looks real faded and discolored. i want to paint but dont painting the cupholders seems like a bad idea to me. i wonder what kind of paint would work best for this.
@@ikeepgettinbanned5525 I also have tan interior I’d recommend duplicolors interior and vinyl, sand color is pretty close
Good video I won't be spending time replacing interior. Excellent for stage 1 weight reduction to improve road handling and free performance upgrade on 99 330i
there is no 1999 330?
That’s wicked
Cały czas myślałem, że to znowu jakieś wideo z zagranicy, a tu proszę "lakier bezbarwny" :) proszę daj znać gdzie kupiłeś tą maszynkę do ścierania oraz farby. Masz może linki do aukcji? Dzięki!
Maszynka parkside w Lidlu. Od poniedziałku znowu jest w promocji (11.03). Farby kupisz w każdym budowlanym. Kolor czarny mat lub Boll lakier do plastików (UWAGA! nie strukturalny tylko zwykły).
nice vid
Top video !! Where did you get that piece that goes on top of where the phone normally goes on the centre console? Really nice !! 👌
hatcdo you mean, cup holder? 🙈
@@MartinsTips yes - it’s perfect 👌
Awesome vid, song name?
Pěkný, jak je to v porovnání s origo? Je vidět rozdíl?
WeAreCarFans diky, tak ja som renoval vsetky plasty cize nevidno akurat ten cup holde rje origo farba je novy origo bmw aj ked voh vie ako dlho lezal v policke v sklade cize farba moze byt ina ako bola za nova 😂
Someone's on that good shit
Wrapping these pieces with 3M 1080 matte is the way to go. Much better finished product and easy enough to do.
nice
I used bmw black oem plastic paint and still comes off
You should have used a soft touch remover or APC.
The worst thing i notice on my 1 serie is the plastic arm rest it always cracks and makes squiz sounds. It’s soul bending
Does it become tacky (slightly sticky to the touch) after you paint it? That's my biggest concern even though it looks great! Just curious before I do the tear down and buy the paint for my M3.
It shouldn't if done correct. Paint then clear coat it and you'll never have issues
As long as you use quality paint, and let it cure for a full day in heat it won’t be tacky at all. Make sure to use a thick clear coat so the paint doesn’t scratch right off
Sandnout to pak průhledný plastový primer pak černá barva?
A potom ešte nejaký priehľadný lak, aby to ochránilo pred škrabancami :)
Ciepłą wodą i gąbką byś to też lekko zdarł. Lakiery do plastików ładnie wygląda, ale w dotyku nie ma takiej miękkości jak stara powłoka. Lepiej by było plastidipem czarnym to oblecieć :)
Mit który urósł już do potęgi....tej farby nie idzie zedrzeć gąbka i ciepła wodą. Wiem to napewno bo namordowalem się jak głupi i dopiero denaturatem i środkiem do czyszczenia EGR zaczęło się ruszać i elegancko zeszło.
@@audio_feelhi-fi7424 w sumie po czasie zgodzę się, tylko jedne dekory dały się gąbce. Później już tylko szlifierka i papiery ścierne. Tak samo, że DOT3/4 spokojnie sobie radzi. U mnie te metody poległy.
Need more lighting in your videos
I used a razor blade at a shallow angle to scrape all the rubber off, then 220 grit sandpaper to prep. I used normal spray paint, but it doesn't look all too good when it's dry. I'll likely go with plastidip
If you still need help, use "foliatec interior color spray" the black one looks very good, almost like the original tone but not rubbery and is not very scratch resistant. But you need to apply like 6 to 8 coats.... But it was worth the work!
Příště zkus přímo plastidip .. ten má stejnou strukturu gumového povrchu jako originální díly BMW .. Tam ten rozdíl nejde vidět absolutně vůbec proti originálu. :)
O had a merc with the same softtouch crap as my e46, just soak it in water for 24hrs comes right off
Why dont ppl use plasti dip? gives the original rubberery feeling.
04:25 The Finished Result
Anyone wanted to fix interior pieces, use hot water with detergent and then scrub with a toothbrush and towel. Take my advice.
And how does that fix paint damage?
@@matthewnicholas6365 it takes the paint completely off. The plastic underneath will look better by itself. Or you can repaint it if you'd like.
@@hmongkieyaaj1491 Doesn't the hot water leech the colour out of the black plastic?
@@GL-xz3xk negative. It doesn't affect the color at all. It's plastic. Give it a try. You'll see.
And how does that fix scratches?
This seems a bit naughty
My e46 had the same problem in the trim
99,99 % of e46 have this problem 😂🙈
He should have masked off the silver strip, it really is not THAT difficult.
Also it comes out of the plastic piece with a little bending and a carefully used razor blade. It's just pressed into this gap it's sitting in.
Maybe he wanted it black?
To Much work.... My wife watched another video and got all the trim out of her E46 M3 and sprayed it with EASY OFF BAM oven cleaner, left it for 10-15mins and scrubbed it off with the kitchen scrub brush..... It came off in sheets and was all done in 5 mins...... No sanding, No sraping etc, etc.......Washed with warm soapy water and ready for painting.........
👌👍👏
Podes fazer isso no meu carro? XD
Nice but it looks like you just painted everything, I wouldn’t call that a restore
did you clear coat them? im probably going to do this. but cant find a match for the tan interior i might change the color and get a oem black cupholder since painting them might be a pain with the retention flaps. fuck, bmw really had some stupid ass ideas didnt they. never seen a car interior with a rubber coating on it that turns to shit in 10 years. even gm has better interiors imo
Bro I did the same thing, the issue is the paint doesn’t stay on the plastic well, simple scratches and it comes off :( I went ahead and bought everything brand new, my advise don’t waste time and invest in buying oem new ones
@@Heno057 i actually removed the console and sprayed it with tuff stuff and scrubbed the rubber coating off. it turned out pretty good, looks a lot newer. eventually want to get a new one without the armrest though
I thought you just need a simple sanding paper grit. But you need them fancy stuffs
Sandpaper takes awfully long. I recommend either scraping this shit texture off or using alcohol / acetone and rubbing like crazy. Still a ton of work tho.
Why the stupid anouing music so off putting I realy don't know why people use distracting music on there vids just makes you not want to watch the vid
Uses graffiti spray paint 😂
You can fix that with plasti dip
eddy xodchevici plasti dip will start to peel off after a while trust me.
No matter what you do it will still come off, just buy new ones, that’s what I did
The fact that he's doing all this shit one handed is making me feel even more useless : (
one handed while filming is the hardest shit ever idk how ppl do it. i need a chest rig or a hat cam
Jesus Сhrist... whole aliexpress in this car...
How'd you know that?
@@jhaycruz6325 cup holder, shift knob, navi - currently that's all I saw in this video.
I see. Are they any good quality wise?
thats an oem cupholder, shift knob can easily be factory or ebay and the navi could be from anywhere. They're very common in e46 chassis'.
