    Looking to repair plastic

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to repair a window visor plastic (Like the Rain guards or the EGR Visor). In my case, my EGR rear visor finish is all scratched up here and there from the roll over.

    Any advice guys?

    lol yea thats what i meant paint them all black. It wont hurt cause if it doensnt work out then u gotta buy some more anyway lol. But thats what i would try. Esp the EGR visor. that should be the easiest to paint

    if they are just scratched then yea you should be able to sand flat and buff the shit out of it. its worth a try.
