Faded parcel shelf

[Nige65]

I would like to breath new life into the parcel shelf in my Escort, I have though about using brown shoe polish as that is the colour of the interior panels, is there a product out there that might do the job rather than shoe polish?

I used black shoe polish on mine and it turned out very well. Was reluctant to paint as you don’t know what and how much polish has been applied in the past which would play havoc with paint.

In the old days everyone would cut speaker holes into them so it became difficult to find a god one especially in black. I found a beige one one day and got a trimmer to vinyl spray it black and its looks completely original

I used self adhesive fabric. In fact I used it on all the pillar trims, kick panels. It made the interior much better. Easy to apply and shape

I've just remembered that many years ago, I made a set of kick panels for the front footwells of a mk1 Mexico out of hardboard and covered them in black vinyl, it looked good and was easy to keep clean, might try sourcing some brown vinyl for my Sport and giving that a go.

I've used Vinyl spray paint in the past, if i couldn't get the right colour door cards. Works well
