painting interior parts???
Ok my GMC has blue interior and to me it doesnt fit with how i'm doing the truck so i want to switch it to either black or grey. My question is my dash pad is in perfect shape so would it make since for me to just get a can of that duplicolor interior paint and just paint it. If so has anyone used this paint on a dash pad and how well did it work. i've only used it on hard plastic and it held up very well. Thanks for any info and suggestions

Re: painting interior parts???
ive always found that krylon fusion spray paint works the best on rubber/plasic parts without flaking

Re: painting interior parts???
I can't remember what the brand is, but I did my dash pad back in 2000, and other than a couple small chops (from packing the cab FULL of crap) it still looks great. I did black, over the med blue.
The headliner still looks perfect, but the door panles live a harder life and don't look too good at all. |

Re: painting interior parts???
I just did the dash pad on my truck. I used the matte black and it turned out great. However when I painted the vinyl door panels gloss red they turned out very splotchy. I will just have to reupholster those in red vinyl. I think the gloss colors are harder t o use and not get them splotchy. I used the vinyl dye in a can.

Re: painting interior parts???
Just make sure that you do a really good job prepping the surface, ie using a good degreaser on the surface before painting it.
