does it work good? does it last long? is it worth trying? any brands work better than others? can i think of any more questions??

 

I dunno...I was going to have my old car's interior painted. I went and asked a shop and they said that it dyes the vinyl so yeah, it would never come off. I did have my carpet color changed from grey to black in it too. It worked and looked great. It never came off like some stories I've heard. I dunno about what brand to get or what-not. I'd go ask a paint shop and see what they use and then go from there...sorry..not much help.

 

Duplicolor Leather and Vinyl Dye, get it at any Auto Zone with a [sm=smiley35.gif] load of different colors. I recently did a few ( main front dash face,bezel,window/lock panels,and glove box) parts in Rally Red and it looks awsome, contrasting with the black interior. Guarenteed not to chip or fade( thats what the site says ) fairly inexpensive($5.00 a 11oz. can)Spray on, and very easy to use takes little time to do just pulling panels ,cleaning them, then doing layers so ya dont get "the runs" dries in about 1 hour but wont fully sink into the pieces for about 12 hours, after about a week or so its ready to be shined with some Armour All. Hope this helps!

 

sounds good! i'll have to give it a try. thanks man!

 

What about sanding so you don't get the texture of the dash, etc.?

 

you can do that if the texture bothers you, I personally didnt so it came out fine for me, it does take some effort as you would more than likely have to wet sand it. againt its a personal choice as to how you want it to look, only problem is, you sand one part, you might as well do em all to match!

 

doing mine w/Plastic Primer & Rustoleoum Paint...the trick is the Plastic Primer in order for the paint to stick doing my interior in charcoal mettalic grey & mettalic sliver. Will posts pics next week stay tuned for pic's

 

the interior dash and side panels i painted my self and a word of advise..i used komelion paint that was blue to red and in side the vehicle the sun doesnt hit all the time so you are left with a purpleish color so stick with solid colors

 

Krylon plastic paints works very well, probably the best spray PAINT you can use.

 

I should point out that it works best on hard plastics (i.e bezels and such)..
