Interior painting question.
Well. I have seen people on here who painted some of the plastic parts of their car like different colors, like i saw a red one, and green. I was wondering what kind of paint is used for that [ a direct link would be nice] and could anyone who has done it, post a picture of it so i can see which things are painted, and get a good picture of what i should do. thanks.

RE: Interior painting question.
Yes I have done it. You probably saw my green interior. For the plastic black parts, I used duplicolor sandable primer, duplicolor general purpose enamel black and clear, and for the vinyl I used duplicolor black vinyl/fabric paint. For the green parts, I used general purpose primer and I used grapper green duplicolor engine enamel (because they didn't have regular paint in that green color). Whatever you do make sure you do really good prep work or your paint job will turn out like crap. If you have any other questions let me know. It's of work if you are doing the entire interior. If you just wanna do a few little things I would say just use duplicolor enamel paints along with duplicolor sandible primer.

Yeah it was your green interior! haha, its so sweet dude. But yeah, Like where you have the green, I am probably planning on putting some color. I don't want to paint it a whole lot but just some. So when you say prep it a lot do you mean, paint it pretty good with a coat of primer? So are the duplicolor enamal paint, and the duplicolor sandible primer all i would basically need? thanks man.

krylon fusion ftw! It's what I used for both my original blue interior and my less-painful-to-look-at-every-day black interior... it works wonders, and no primer is needed!

^ hold on... I'll check the site out.... I just got Krylon Fusion at wal-mart when I did my interior
EDIT: Yeah, I just used the regular "Krylon Fusion for plastics".. I think most of the other ones are just for different paint effects (metallics and stuff)

RE: Interior painting question.
Mine did when it was blue... thereno peeling or anything... the only problem I have with my black interior is that the black paint shows scuff marks really badly. Just a word of warning, though: think long and hard about it before you paint your interior; will you like it the way you'll paint it in a year's time? I found out that lesson the hard way. A colored interior looks nice at first, but it grows old quickly when you have to see it every day. I'm not saying that painted interiors are a bad thing (I've seen some pretty amazing-looking ones), but they have to be done with a bit ofthought (the same as anything on cars)... and I wouldn't go crazy with painting everything in sight like I did, either... a little moderation goes a long way
