hey...i know that like the parts that have fabric on them you can remove
but the parts that are just hard....whats the best way to repaint those a dif color? i might do it on my new car if i get brave enough
but i was just wondering whats the best way to do it without it cracking and everything

i painted the interior of a chevy blazer and a f-150. did both of of them black. blazer was grey and f- 150 was black. i used a this special dye that comes in a spray can. it is a vinyl dye but if you prep the plastic surfaces with amonia very very well it will paint right over them. the dye also works on fabric too. ill try to post some pics 4 you too see

you can also get some adhesive promotor to use before the actual dye. it'll make the dye stick better.

you can also use regular spray paint, but you'll want at least 5 coats of primer and 5 coats of paint or it'll chip off too easily. i did six coats each on my old F150 dash and it held up like a champ. 3 coats each on the doors and it was chipping.

no spray paint
but on this die...what type is it
like what company and stuff and i looked on the NAPA site and i couldnt see anythign like it
so yeah
if you could post some pics of ur jobs on it and get me a link to where i can see some examples and what the spray cans look like please put em up

drewl

it's in the spray paint section and looks like a spray paint can. maybe the store you go to has a different brand, but it should say "vinyl and fabric dye" or something like that

Jncominco2

lol whats that pic?

drewl

wish i would have known this before i ripped out an 11k interior!...jk.."wink"..what im gona do is cover my hard parts with cloth..a carbon fiber looking cloth with a standard spray adhesive...im by far no expert and it is just an experiment

It depends on what you want it too look like, and how much time and money you are willing to spend. I have a few methods I could share with you, pm if you would like to hear but they can get costly.

If you want to go cheap though, a dye or spray paint is the way go, duplicolor makes a whole line of interior paints you can pick up at your local advance auto, with these just simply follow the directions on the can.

again, if you want it to look like a show car and dont mind paying the money or taking the time, pm me
