Door sill covers

As you may know, I got plastic covers from previous post. The reason I ordered them is not only better and finished look but also this

This is passenger side - small scratches from boots.

Mine side is fine, just few big scratches after alarm system install made by me and a my friend.

By the way, here I used paint touch-up stick for a first time and also fixed some paint on doors - great thing!

But I don't liked black covers. Of course I could order an expensive covers with metal plates but it cost almost x3 times more, so I choose plastic version.

To add better look, I played in Photoshop with tracks inside plastics (images converted from yellow car, may be not accurate - not so important).

Original - no change

50% white (gray)

100% white

I think white is too much, but gray is nice and it matches gray seats covers.

This set I get for 30 NIS. Probably not best choice for varnish but will see after several months. May be it will require applying once in a while.

Most difficult part is to precisely trace the paths with color. I used different brushes. Paint should dry out for 24 hours, varnish too. I put few layers of varnish so it took me 3-4 days to finish. But is was fun ;-)

Installing was simple, I used masking tape to mark where it should sit. Normally, at service they have templates as shown in doc KDA 700 001 Door Sill Covers (PDF).
