Sticky, tacky plastic surfaces inside the Ferrari. The paintwork has undergone chemical degradation – a typical effect of the ageing of soft-touch paint, manifested by the characteristic stickiness of the surface and a coating that is peeling and flaking off.

Sticky, tacky plastics in the interior of a Ferrari

Type of material

Soft-touch painted plastic – Ferrari interior components

Solutions implemented

As part of the project, we carried out a comprehensive restoration of the damaged plastic components. The process involved:

  • removal of the damaged components from the vehicle’s interior,
  • complete chemical removal of the degraded, sticky paint coating,
  • thorough cleaning and degreasing of the plastic surfaces,
  • preparing the substrate for the new coating,
  • professional painting using high-quality paints resistant to hydrolysis and ageing,
  • applying a protective layer to prevent the sticky effect from recurring,
  • reassembly of components whilst maintaining factory tolerances.

Final result: the plastic parts have regained their original, matt texture without any stickiness, and the new coating is resistant to chemical degradation and will last for many years without the need for further repairs.

My car's interior plastic has become sticky and tacky to the touch (soft-touch coating breaking down) - can this be permanently fixed, not just cleaned?

Yes, and this is exactly the problem we solved in this Ferrari project. The stickiness comes from chemical degradation of the soft-touch paint itself, so cleaning alone never removes it for long – we fully strip the degraded coating chemically, then repaint with paint specifically resistant to hydrolysis and ageing, plus a protective layer to prevent the stickiness from returning.

Will the sticky problem come back after a repaint, like it seems to on some interior trim?

Not with the correct materials. The stickiness returns when standard or low-quality coatings are used, since they degrade the same way as the original. We use paint specifically chosen for hydrolysis and ageing resistance, which is what prevents the issue from recurring for many years.

Is sticky, tacky plastic common in supercars and premium interiors, or just a Ferrari issue?

It’s a known issue across many premium and luxury interiors, not specific to Ferrari – soft-touch coatings from a certain era are simply prone to this kind of chemical breakdown over time, regardless of brand.

How much does it cost and how long does it take to fix sticky interior plastic?

Time and cost depend on the size and number of components affected. The standard process includes removal from the interior, complete chemical stripping of the degraded coating, cleaning and degreasing, repainting with hydrolysis-resistant paint, and applying a protective layer, followed by reassembly. We provide an exact quote individually after receiving photos of the affected parts.

Do you only fix sticky plastic in Ferraris, or other supercars and premium brands too?

We repair sticky, degraded soft-touch plastic across all supercar and premium brands, not just Ferrari – including Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. The repair principle is the same regardless of brand: stripping the degraded coating and repainting with a hydrolysis- and ageing-resistant finish.
