I’ve now removed all the black plasticy stuff on it and am gonna paint it,but nothing is sticking to it or it’s just reacting,and I’m wondering what colour do I paint it as I’m thinking about buying new door Handel’s as there going to be worse than this to paint,
So if I do this Matt black or anthercite it may not mate a new Oem Handel and I carnt see that you can buy new fuel button surrounds

Hello I have a bit of a dilemma I’m trying to respray my fuel button surround on my gti as it was worn like the door Handel’s,problem is I don’t think it’s ment to come of as I had to de plastic weld a part so it came of,I had a similar problem with the gear lever surround. The paint was beginning to peel so I removed it fully with a very fine sand paper and sprayed it satin black. Gave it 3 coats leaving an hour between each one. Came up perfect

Hi mate, I’ve got a spare one from a spare door card I had, in good condition. PM me a number and I can send you some pics if you like 👍

Hopefully since I repaired the wiring loom going into the car door when doing my audio upgrade I won't ever have to do this.
