Interior Trim and Plastic Nic Nacs

[Alanw]

Looking for a place to find interior trim pieces, plastic nic nacs, screws, air vents, the little things to make my interior less old looking.

Thanks!

It’s been years since I used this place but I think they’re still around.

Do you know if they paint the part to match the rest of your interior?

I would tend to doubt that they would paint the parts. When I did it more than a decade ago, I recall the parts arriving pure white. Additionally, trimming, sanding, and even some heating was required to fit some of the pieces. After all that, then paint was applied.

The end result was far from perfect and I am quite the amateur at this kind of stuff, however it was a huge improvement over the brittle, cracked, and faded stuff that was original. I would attempt to salvage whatever you can of your existing plastic parts as fitting these replacements is no small task. No two Skymasters are the same so it’s probably not reasonable to expect to have production plastic interior parts neatly fit every airplane.

After I finished, I promised myself I would never do that again, and I haven’t.
