Default Anyone use Dupli-Color before?

Thinking about restoring my dashboard, door panels and perhaps even my seats (as they're a nasty grayish color), and I plan to use the Dupli-Color vinyl and fabric coating product to restore the faded colors in my interior. Anyone have any experiences with this product they would want to share, as well as any hinderances that you ran into, such as quality of the paint life, etc.

Also can anyone link me a DIY on how to remove my head unit, dashboard, front and rear seats, etc. Thanks in advance.

Heres a video for those who have never heard of this product.

I don't know about the quality of their interior paints, but I used 2 cans to do my rims and they are holding up very well.

I would recommend SEM's paint. It should be stronger and last longer. You can find it at your local car paint store. I have used duplicolor a lot but never their vinyl paints. Duplicolor is a good paint but not a professional grade IMO.

I used the Vinyl stuff on my last hatch. I had an si and could only find dx blue rear platics. So i bought some duplicolor black. Main thing is prep, prep, and prep more. I fist used a good degreaser (simple green in my case). Then used green scotch brite pad (rub on concrete first to dull it down), and LIGHTLY clean with degreaser again,same area as u degreased without scotch brite pad. Then find a good cleaner and clean. Make sure it is super dry. I recomend using a primer. But not required. Spray lightly and make several light coats. Let dry between coats. Mine lasted over 2 yes in florida sun with zero fad/chips/flaking
