This summer I am going to be wanting to freshen up the interior in the jimmy, its the light grey, finding a color will not be a problem, I am used to painting metal, so I do not really know the process of painting plastic, like the interior pieces. What is the process to do this. Thanks!!

 

Sand it to get a rough surface, then i do 2 coats primer, 2 coats color, and clear if you want to

 

Thanks, any specific primer, and what about adhesion promoter?

 

I sanded, washed with soap and water, used 2 coats plastic primer, 3 coats color, 3 coats clear. It's been almost a year now. Still lookin good. All paints were rustoleum brand I believe.

 

i would go with some adhesion promoter, being as the plastics for our dashes are made out of polyoilfin plastics. i know i spelled it wrong but, the plastic has mold release in it and can make paint not stick so good. plus if you live in a hot area it will release the oils in the plastic just enough to make the paint not stick. went to school for this kind of thing.

 

And make sure you scrub all the Armor All off.

 

Thanks for the tips, and thanks for reminding me to get the armor all off, Cause i use it about once a month
