So, have any of you seen the new Krylon spray paint that is supposedly designed for plastics? Anyone tried it yet? I'm debating on using it on some interior pieces on my EJ1 to convert the tan to black. As long as there is a flat black color in this new line of paint.

Anyone try this method for color matching or doing a conversion on their interior?

 

im not gonna touch this one.

c'mon now, you know there's folks out there who've spray painted their wiper arms yellow... and dyed interior door panels... this doesn't seem THAT far off the mark, i can see someone doing it...

 

use Duplicolor Gloss black with light coats and it will look oem promise! did it on my roomates armrest... search man theres plenty of threads about this but be sure to put your flame suit on
lol

 

why not just buy the black interior, than you won't have to worry about the paint in the future, you will be more satisfied in the end too

 

spray it up man. if thats what tickles your fancy.

 

what i would do...

replace what you can with black pieces and spray/dye the rest.

 

Ok ok let me clarify one thing, i'm not about to go spray my interior here, just saw this commerical about the Krylon paint being designed for plastics and thought 'hey that might work on these console pieces'

just thought i'd see if anyone else has thought of this with the new paint, and if so... how'd it do?

 

well i just recently did my blue plast panels to black didn't use in plastic specific paint ...

prepped the hell out of it than primered & than painted w/ 99 cent flat black paint ...

it's been a few months and it's holding out good so far ...

 

^^^do you have any pics of the finished product. I am sure some of us would like to see. thx

 

you can get the duplicolor dye found at any wal mart for 3.99 it works perfect on door panels and if you scuff your plastics then it wont come of it will dye them and it looks oem

i did a integra dash conversion and i had grey everything but now it all looks oem

 

don't forget to shake well.

 

go to autozone or whatever and buy some VHT interior dye, it wont flake off

 

heres a pic of my 93 civic sedan with the duplicolor dye

 

looks pretty good.... do you have an ex?

 

no i have a shitty *** dx, no ac, no sunroof, not even power windows it sucks in the summer


its light tho


heres one more pic, i have full leather now

 

What was dyed in that picture?
The dash???

 

^^^
what i want to know too.
was it done with duplicolor fabric dye/ plastic dye?

 

everything was but the dash it was all grey before

 

in a past car i sprayed a tan air bag cover grey to match the rest of the interior. it came out looking perfect. couldnt even tell it was painted. just do it in light coats and make sure the surface is nice and clean/dry.

i dunno if i would do the whole dash though, but in my case with the one piece it came out looking good

 

if you spray -- dont forget the primer...

that ish will flake like crazy lol

 

I painted all my ek interior black

 

Are you serious?
Looks great.

i'm going to have to agree with you on that! Any chipping problems?

 

for best results make sure you scuff the surface and you wont need primer...also paint the pieces in the heat the hotter the better...

i work as a maintanance man at an apartment complex so i sprayed mine in an empty apartment with the heaters blasted
