[Santo3477]

Where/what kind of paint do you use for the interior vinal/plastic?

i know that they have it beause i saw it on trucks one time when they were redoing a blazer interior.

i dont see why you couldnt do it with a high quality spray paint. probably ned to prime so that it wont scratch to easy. ide think that youde take everythign out, paint it and then let it thouroughly dry.

This is a little off topic but I think the plastics are somewhat similar and may be applicable.

Santo,
check out this thread... It talks about painting the vinyl, but the paint I got at Walmart worked on both vinyl and Plastic interior peices... If you want it "smoothed" just sand it down some... WARNING: Dont use a Gloss Paint it looks like crap... use a smooth finish, and to get a gloss look just use Armor All to shine it up.

If you want all the pieces smooth, wet sand them with high grit sand paper (start with 800, work your way up to 2000). Then primer, basecoat, and clearcoat. If you are good with fiberglass, do that. It will be a lot easier.

Hartman - did you pick your dye up localy? Did you use die or just paint?

I am sure my reason for painting is different than all yours. I need to get balck on some of the greay to hide grease and dirt
