Vinyl paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought an old VW. It came with new in the box door panels. But they are tan. I'm going with black interior. I hate to buy another set when I have new ones but the tan isn't going to work.

Recommendations? What's a good vinyl paint or dye? I figure that the black should cover the tan easily but I don't want it to look uneven or peel.

I use SEM products, and "Landau Black" is a nice color for what you are planning.

Make sure you use the recommended vinyl prep, the prep is what makes all the difference.

Color bond LVP refinisher , Bar none nothing else compares . it will not peel or crack i used it to color match part of my sons BMW interior door panel and center consul over a year ago and it not only has held up it matches perfectly . they do color matching ,So they might even carry a VW black .

X2, I've used a ton of SEM over the years and never had any issues. It holds up very well, sticks well, and looks great.

x3 for SEM. My experience with Color Bond vinyl dyes is that colors can vary from can to can.
