Thank you for your excellent video & paint advise. Repainted my cup holder area and it looks almost new. I had a lot of difficulty getting my cup holder out so I opted to use a small prying tool that actually got the front clips off without taking the cup holder out of its carriage. You can only do it if you remove the surrounding frame to avoid scratching or damaging the outer surface. Saved sooooo much time than having to put the cup holder back in!!!
I just did the HVAC surround with the bmw black. I was annoyed that it had a 1/2 inch gouge in the rubberized finish so I cleaned all the coating off with rubbing alcohol, toothpaste and a toothbrush. It’s now drying. I’m amazed how well the LVP refinisher works. Looks oem brand new again. I’ll reinstall tomorrow night.
I had this problem so I just got a replacement black dash trim and black covers from the junkyard. I removed the rubberized coating with denatured alcohol. Now looks great and it will not scratch any more.
Guys it's a great video, do you have any idea where could I get the same paint in Europe? Maybe some other brand would also be ok. Also did you wrap the trim on this e90, I have the same interior and looking for ideas, thanks
awesome video thanks so much. The paint does look darker than the original (see 10:43 where you can see the centre console trim next to it) I was hoping the colorbond would be exact. thanks again i will follow your method exactly. :-)
I got a question ? BMW told me the color of the interior of my car is Dakota beige so should I get Dakota beige of colorbond or the same one ur using ? I would really appreciate the help
Pop up the bottom portion of the back seat. There is a print out sheet from the factory that lists the colors. These guys have a video detailing how to do it and where to find it.
Just buy replacement caps which you can do without removing the cup holders. By removing the cup holders, you risk scratching the paint on the cupholder trim panel!
Don't use a razor blade. You should use something much softer. You can scrape it off with an old credit card. You will mess of the plastic with a razor.

Hey I have 2007 bmw 328i sport and can't find the color code under my seat so do I find it. But it does kind of look like this one in this video !

I need Venetion Beige in spray paint I cannot find it anywhere. I used all in one colourant and that has made the seat worst
Doesn't it require a primer or adhesive promoter?
Did you break the cup holder while trying to remove it?

What is the color for a series 3 2002 325xi
Nice video. How do you find out you exact paint color needed?

I just use the rubbing alcohol and cloth to wipe the sticky material off. Don’t need to remove the cup holder. It works
If the cup holder faces pop off then why bother removing the assemblies from the dash?

Good job. That stuff is a pain I the ass to sand off
Try acetone.
Cant i just remove that rubberized paint the plastic is the right color underneath

Since you just need the cup holder face why did you take the whole cup holder lol
