I am wanting to get these filled in and prepped for paint, anyone interested in handling the job?

Just fill the cup holder up with bondo, And let it dry and sand it smooth.

Get some roof caulking and fill the ashtray seam in till you can't see it..

Then paint!

I wouldn't use Bondo. It isn't meant to stick to plastic and will probably crack. There's something you can do that I think is called chemical welding or something like that. You can use acetone and a heat gun to melt pieces of ABS plastic to it. There's a guy in the Appearance forum that was doing it.

Yea youre right. After a while the bondo will shake from normal road driving and youll have a crack like a circle.

and bondo is meant to be a skim coat and not to fill up something like a cup holder anyway.

I was joking about the bondo, that would be 2 lbs of bondo in the holder lol..

O yea definetly. I woudnt doubt that some people would be serious about that though after some of the stuff ive seen. Dont know if people are serious or joking.

Look into having them fiberglassed over, then you put bondo over the fiberglass, sand it smooth, prime, paint clear

I used expander foam. Working very well.

Won't it have a soft spot now if you lean your elbow on it?

vikingramair

Nope i ended up with special filler for plastic. When all prep was done i covered whole console in vinyl.

mine gets used every day of the week except sunday so that cupholder is important to me. hell on sundays and when I don't have a drink it's where the cell phone goes so I wouldn't get rid of it myself.

You must have an auto

M6 cars suck to have it there and the ash tray opens when shifting to 3rd lol

yup, mines an auto, my ashtray is also busted, you don't even wanna know how much ash I vacuumed out of there after I bought the car. I wouldn't mind eliminating it.
