Has anybody used Interior paint like and had a good outcome? I got a extra blue hatch interior and want it grey and black. Think about tryin this....


So if anybody has tried this how did it turn out? If not i'll post pics and info when I try it.

 

Do it.

 

i used the one from home depot back in the ricer days and it works really well on vinyl but flakes like crazy off of plastic...!!!

 

i am in the process of doing this but am using sem

 

You're forgetting a step or two.

You really need to clean down the plastic/vinyl with acetone or something to get the natural oils and junk off. Like really clean them. Then you can either sand the areas down to "scuff" the material to get ready to paint. Then get some "adhesion promoter" so that the paint will actually stick to the plastic/vinyl.

Infact, I'm sure their are a few threads on this already.

 

I say i am in the process since i do not have all that is recommended by sem you can find the directions at www.semproducts.com technical data sheet one (rap-1). SEM makes quality products and if you follow their directions you will be fine. I agree with removing the oils, dirt and debre that is on what you are trying to paint but i would not use acetone since there are quality cleaners out in the market.

 

I used the Rustoleum paint on some parts when I converted my DA from tan to black interior. Main issue...it's way, way too glossy. Not just in comparison to the OEM pieces, but in general, it just doesn't look right. Mine also started to chip a little, but that may have been due to my less-than-meticulous cleaning beforehand (just soap and water).

I've seen some very impressive pics of SEM painted parts, so I would second the recommendation to go with that.

 

I saw that stuff to I don't want it glossy,tryin to to go oem as I can does it look factory like? Haven't made a choice yet of which one to use.

 

My interior was painted completely with a something similar to this, not Rustoleum. Everything you see here is painted, NOT stock.

 

The only problem I had with that paint is that it was way too glossy. I used the "satin" hoping for a satin finish but it was glossy. I am probably going to redo it with flat and hope to get satin!

 

go to sherwin williams and buy SEM interior paint...

 

i'm sure it would work if it's done right. otherwise you're going to have some fkd up interior.... i had ugly blue interior and just swapped with an si interior.

 

The sem does not come out glossy i tried it on a door panel speaker cover and it is not glossy the next step is to make a blue crx dx seat turn black.
