Painting interior

Scrapla · 10-21-2004, 12:12 PM

I ordered some interior paint for my car and was curious if anyone here has re-painted there interior. Im sticking with the same color (titanium grey) but just want to know whats the best way to prep and paint, would I scuff the plastic with a brillo pad type deal or use fine sandpaper. Im just going to be doing the hard plastic panels like around my rear hatch area and maybe some trim up front.

I didnt even know people painted there interior. As cheap as fox body parts are I just replaced a few panels cause they wouldnt come clean.

I think you would want to clean them with some sort of solvent to remove all oily residue that might be present and then lightly rough them up like you mentioned.

For interior paintin there are the interior plastic prep stuff it makes it so the paint will stick on the plastic better its a clear spray but make a huge diff on how the paint will stay on there. but i can`t remeber what is called or who makes it I saw it on horse power tv it seem to do a good job

Scrapla, there was a GREAT discussion on this topic not too long ago in here. I did a quick search, but didn't find it. Talked about the prep work, the dye, and the how to's. Great info, do a search for it when you have a few minutes. Pretty sure it was here in "Windsor World", but it might have been in another forum, or even moved.

Good luck bro!
