Painting interior this winter break
 

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

i dont recommend rattle canning the interior. I have seen it done, but it doesnt look right. it will also still flake and chip, and if your surface is not 100% clean it will raise the paint and show every imperfection.

there was a HUGE DIY write up on here earlier about a guy who did the primer, dupont paint the whole nine yards and it came out great. i just dont think you would be happy w/ the results.

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

Yeah I saw that write up. Just maybe looking for some users hear that may know a thing or two about can spraying the interior.

Hey i just actually last week used the rustoluem fabric/vinyl paint.it came out great..my interior was tan but now black.dont let anyone tell you different this stuff works great..no flaking or anything...

I didnt use primer or any clear coats...just took 600 grit sand paper to everything then cleand everything off and sprayed 2 coats..looks great..i even used it on the steering wheel and no wear marks or chipping...just make sure u sand and clean it and ur good to go!

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

Do you think clear coat is needed to protect the paint? thanks for the info man.

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

No i think it wouldnt look rite anyway it would make it kinda shine

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

the funny thing is if it chips or wears off in a spot just re-spray that spot again and ur good!

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

Can I wash it with regular dish soap, or a bar of soap?

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

wash the interior?like after you paint it?

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

I agree^^^.

But, if you REALLY want to do this. Get out an old toothbrush and a pre-paint cleaner and go to town. You have to clean every nook and crany, otherwise it will(should) eventually peel.

94 teggy - prior to painting it. I've heard you had to scrub it down and maybe use some type of de-greaser. What type of soap can I use to get it very clean?

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

lol these guys and saying "i dont recommend rattle canning it"...they just had this interior paint on the speed channel last week theres came out good too...you dont have to get every nook and cranie cleaning it...

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

idk man ive never heard of using soap for cleaning the interior panels..i guess dish soap those since it does have de greaser in it!

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

Doc13 - Yeah the owner before me tried painting it black and it faded over time for some reason. So anything would look better than how it looks like now.

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

I guess. Well Ill let you guys know how it comes out. Any other advice is welcomed.

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

no dish soap, will leave residue, get some degresser.

Re: Painting interior this winter break
 

anybody know where I can find some degreaser for this type of material? I'm hoping walmart :-) since I'm already making a trip there tmr for the paint.

Re: Painting interior this winter break
