What paint to touch up boot tray ...
I've repaired the corners of my original boot tray (if that's what it's called) now need to paint the p38 filler to kind of match the brown of the tray...I know it won't be perfect and I don't want to have to prep and paint the whole thing. What paint shall I use?

Re: What paint to touch up boot tray ...
Hi,
I repaired our using some fibre glass mat (from Halfords) and some of the grey ABS cement used to weld pipes to hold it to the back of the moulding, this gives a good bond to the original ABS tray. Whilst the tray is apart fit a strip of wood indide to support the plastic where the bed rests.
If you are feeling rich someboby on Ebay is selling new trays but they are expensive!
When you re fit the tray put some of the soft felt floor protector pad stuff used on chair legs underneath so when you pull the tray out the plastic dosn't drag on the engine lid.
Re. the paint I don't know the colour be make sure it is suitable for use with ABS.
