interior trim paint

Postby 95ram » Thu Aug 13, 2009 4:33 am

What kind of paint have you guys used on the interior trim pieces. I'd like to hear the good and the bad.

You might want to PM Philip. He has paint that he uses on pillar pods that is supposed to match the factory color.

I have the gray interior and painted my guage pod with Case gray because it's what I had. Matches pretty close, just a shade darker. Shinier too. :?

I'm not looking to factory match. I'm just wondering who's had what luck with what paint.

Just make sure you get the correct paint. Any paint will work but will scratch right off with light use. There is paint made to bond directly to the plastic. Pretty sure I have seen it a NAPA.

DuPont makes about the best vynil dies. It doesn't scratch and stays on very well. If you do good prep work.
