Painting Interior

[Filterboy]

I have see quite a few cars with custom painted parts of the interior. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a type/brand of durable and high gloss paint I could use for bringing some color to some of the plastic pieces of my interior. [img]graemlins/dj.gif[/img]

Love the interior paint accents on your car. Also, those rally stripes are sweet! I have a pair, just have to wait for a non-rainy day to install them.

Any paint from the hardware will work good. Just make sure you sand the pieces good, then put a couple coats of primer on first. Then put a good amount of layers of your color on and you shouldn't have a problem with chips or anything. I did mine and I love it.

Just make sure you let the final product sit over night so when you put them on you won't put your fingerprints in them. I learned the hard way and had to redo a piece. Good luck!

Just to piggy back:Yea fingerprints are from hell when painting your interior. Here is a crucial tip man: make sure you use MORE coats, LESS paint. What I mean is try not to douse the peices on every coat, rather; use thin coats and apply four or five includung your clear. Yea, yea lots of clear coats it will keep scratches to a minimum.

Clean the pieces with alcohol before you prime and after you sand them and you should be fine. Some people hate the texture of the pieces, that's why they sand, other than that it's really you personal preference. I suggest sanding the hell oputta them because you get a non-factory look, plus it increases the "shine".

Good luck and please make sure you give a ton of time to dry and when you are placing them back, use a small screw driver with tape on the end to keep scratches to a bare minimum as well, you may need it.
