id probably go with a flat color to go with a nice oem look

 

i have used this stuff numerous times, carpet, vinyl, plastics

it has only worked 1 time.

the first time i used it. it wouldnt ever come off.

Since then i havent been able to get it to hold, it always scrapes off or scratches really easy, and ive done it the same way every single time. i used the gloss black, if you armerall your interior it will look the same, if not, use flat black

some examples, the civic armrest is all that held, the accord door panels didnt, so i ended up stripping it off, which toook days





this last picture saved me from a dead battery, i locked my car up for the evening, looked at the pics and noticed the seatbelt through the door causing that light to be on, LOL

 

since you mentioned armorall, thats probably why your having troubles with it sticking

armorall is horrible, its based heavly on silacone and doesnt let anything stick to it

id stop using it awhile before you wana paint something, then clean the uber **** outa whatever it is your gona paint before you paint it


and i painted the carpet, handles on mine, they both were a silver/gray color

Yea that stuff is banned from all body shops, spray it once in a shop and the next few jobs even in the paint booth are effected in some way

 

I used the gloss black on a set of door panels before I bought OEM Black. They held like crazy, I had them done for over a year and never babied them. I couldn't wash them with regular car wipes though, so I used armorall on the other parts, and used a damp rag to wipe down the door panels, then a dry one to dry themoff.


I used the gloss black

My steps were like this:

-washed door panels down really well
-used a LIGHT amount of alcohol to remove anything that might mess the paint up
-scuffed with a very fine 3M scuff pad
-Applied 4 coats to each panel
-allowed to dry for 2 full days in sun light

They Came out nice, and if the door panels had no flaws, I would have kept them, it didn't matter to me that they were not original black because when everything was clean, they matched just fine. The only time they looked out of place was after I had left my interior dirty for any amount of time. The amorall would wear off the dash, and the panels would still be dark black and shiny even while dirty.

If anyone comes in hating, just ignore them, as long as you don't plan on doing anything horrible looking, painting with this dye is fine. It is also much cheaper than buying black panels if you have good panels right now that can be dyed.

do you have any pictures? would you suggest using flat black then just using armorall on it?

 

DEFF. Wipe down with alcohol or a laquer rag, if not, the paint will always come off, because its not able to stick due to the armor all. I did this in my first car, blue ef with matching intrerior....so i used the flat black on it. Worked great for me.

 

I don't have any pics but...

I had a '96 mustang, it had no rough stains, but the carpet was a little discolored. it was grey but the stains were underneath the floor mats.

well i got new floor mats, and the stains became more obvious. so i tryed everything to clean, but no luck. reluctantly, i bought the paint/dye in a can, and went at it. i only did the sections i needed, ant it worked perfectly. my carpet looked brand new! my car was for sale, and ended up selling that week with the "super clean interior" being one of the big selling points. yeah, if you felt it with your hand, it was a little rougher, but it was worth it

Did the flat black match better than gloss black to oem?

awesome i might aswell do my carpets too.

 

come onnnn

 

that **** will stay on if you apply it right, i painted a gauge pod that was black , a duplicolor tan color. the same day i wanted to go back to black so i figured i would test out the paint and try to strip it or scuff it by sraping it against something. I used paint thinner, gasoline, goof off, carb cleaner and a metal wire brush and it didnt want to come off at all!

 

1. Scuff the piece with a green scotch brite pad. To remove armor all.
2. Spray with vinyl cleaner in a can.
3. Spray with adhesive promoter.
4. Primer.
5. Paint with very light coats.

If you do all these steps it should come out fine. Remove any pieces from the car to avoid overspraying.

 

i wana see pics!

These pics might hurt your eyes..

Here is my car when I bought it.. This stuff was vinyl dyed........... I tried everything to get it off, this was annoying, but it was holding up for what it was worth to the original owner.. lol



Then I tried my luck at dying the door panels after replacing the dash, and this is what the result was:



I have since replaced them, but you can see from the pic that the painted door panels match the oem black dash just fine...

This is black over white, which is why my panels were covered 4 times... BTW, I used the gloss black

 

which black did you use?
