First off, let me clarify that I read through the sticky topics, did a search, and scanned a few pages of topics, and didn't find an answer to this specific question. Lots of info I'll use later, but not what I need right now.
So, the previous owner of my car was a painter, and there were little paint smudges here and there all over the place, mostly the door panels, some on the dash/console/etc. It was driving me nuts, and no normal cleaning method would take them off. After all, they've all been curing for over five years. In a fit of desperate stupidity, I got some paint thinner and a brillo pad. Took it right off. What I didn't realize until the panels dried is that it also removed most of the color in the areas I really had to scrub. I knew this could happen, but it seemed to be a good idea at the time anyway.
I'd love to gut the whole interior and paint it all black, which would negate this question, but I just don't have the time, the right weather, and I can't afford to ground the car right now. SO
with my Mustangs, lots of stang resto places sell spray cans of year/model correct factory colors that are a perfect match for the interior. Is anything like this available for Subarus? Like I said, I'm not crazy about my 1990 blue interior, but right now I'd rather touch up my door panels than attempt a full interior color change, as it's really out of the question at least until spring. Thanks for reading
