Default Rear of front seat repair - paint/rubberisation

Was any solution found to repair of the front seat backs? Mine has been damaged I think by the rear seats being folded down. The rubberised coating has been worn off. Has anyone fixed this?

In addition to this the driver's front seat tilt seems to have given up. Is this any easy DiY in the same vein as the rear seat drop mechanism - ???

Cant remember who but someone had their subframe replaced @ Elms Stanstead last year and also had the seat backs refurbed.

Quick thread search needed.

I had a quick look but couldn't find it, however I did find this thread about using plastidip. I'm looking to get back to the OEM finish so not for me but I thought others might find it useful.

The scuff is actually on the rear seats so every time I get in it catches my eye, had it been on the back of the front seats it wouldn't have bothered me as much - out of sight, out of mind so they say.

I took my front seat out and re-plasti-dipped a small section that had scuffed, but not damaged the paint underneath. Still works a treat, just blends in with the other stuff after a few coats.
