Hello Crossfire friends.

We own our Crossfire since 2004 and is still new with 60k miles. Runs great with some minor interior finishing issues.
Hope to get via this forum some help.
1 the radio buttons turned black.
2. The interior paint comes off

Anybody out there who can help?

Thanks

Martin

The radio ***** can be repainted. Matching dyes for the interior are available also. Use the search feature at the top LH of the main page.

 

Gently pull the ***** off with a pair of pliers (I have a spring-loaded pair that applies only enough pressure to hold onto). I would recommend a 2-step repaint: 1) Spray both ***** with a Pain Adhesion compound so the paint will adhere to the plastic; 2) Then get a spray can of Chrysler Bright Silver for final coat.

Here's how mine turned out several years back:

 

Here is an eBay Seller (I think they supplied the dyes for the Crossfire) with the OEM matching dyes for the Crossfire interior colors:

Dark Slate Gray

Medium Slate Gray

Cool Vanilla

Cedar Red

 

Thank you kindly
I read. Pain adhesion? The rest I understand.

I got it. Thanks again

Below is the Adhesion Promoter I bought from an O'Reilly's Auto Parts Store near me. They highly recommended it when I was getting ready to paint the plastic radio ***** on my Crossfire's radio.

 

Seats or other interior areas (i.e., console, door panels, dashboard, etc.)?

 

The center console.

 

Thank you.

There are several suppliers out there that have spray products for various OEM leather and vinyl interior colors. One highly rated supplier is Colorbond. You can check their website and find the Dark Slate Gray & Medium Slate Gray colors, along with other colors Chrysler used. Colorbond can be found on Amazon also.

Here's a link to another supplier (SEM) available on Amazon: You may not need to apply an Adhesion Promoter as a prep coat since many of these products are advertised as 'flexible coatings'. But you most likely will need to clean the surface thoroughly to remove any treatments (i.e., leather conditioner, Amorall, etc.). that may have been applied over the years. Surface will need to be 'oil-free' so to speak.

If you only need to do some spot touchups, the supplier on eBay (that I sent you links for) is probably your best option.

Good Luck to you.

 

Thank you kindly

Thank you again for all the good advise.
