I do believe you've already answered your own question....
Brake Fluid on my Instrument Panel
:BoomSmilie_anim
ME)
So I flushed my entire brake system the other weekend. I was extra cautious and put down multiple layers of absorbent towels under the brake cylinders and bleeding nipples. I even had soap and water on hand just in case. I finished without a drip, and covered her back up.
The next day I came out for a ride and discovered something wet on the instrument panel, so I took a towel and wiped it off. While doing so I smeared some of the substance on the black plastic surrounding the panel. Seconds later I noticed the color of the plastic starting to fade. I checked the color of the fluid on the towel, yellow, it was brake fluid... I rushed into get a bucket of water and soap, but it was too late.
Now I have a patchy black/grey instrument panel, which sticks out like a sore thumb after I spent hours detailing her with a toothbrush. My question is, what I can do aside from buying a brand new instrument panel? All I need is the plastic surround on the front. I have seen stick-on carbon surrounds, but I would much rather stick with OEM.
