painting interior pieces?

[1992HondaAccord]

i saw this guy that painted his interior trim around the radio and vents white, and whenever i search for it, it comes up with how to paint the carpet and vynal.. What kind of paint should i use and how long will it last if i do do a good job on it? also, does anybody have any pics on theirs completed?

Rustolleum is really good. But i saw a pic of someone who paintd it with a candy red (looks like chrome, bt red) and it looked really good.

Okay, and do you know how long it would last without chipping or fading?

How long it lasts all comes down to the prep work and how abusive you are on your interior.

In the 10 years I've been modding cars and painting stuff, I have never had any painted interior parts other than door sills scuff and peel on me.

SEM Interior coating or Krylon Fusion.

Ive used the Krylon Fusion and the Duplicolor plastic paint and they are both really good.. But the big key is the prep and patience!

Scuff with grey scotchbrite and wipe down with wax and grease remover or something similar like denatured alcohol. Then either spray with a plastic paint like mentioned above such as krylon fusion or SEM color coat

[crazymikey]

You dont necessarily have to scuff the surface. I was told not to. All I did was degrease mine.

I have had no adhesion issues with painting plastic interior pieces without sanding or scuffing.

Scuffing isn't necessary. But it helps a ton as far as adhesion goes I did mine white in my z24 I sanded primed wet sanded gave it an alcohol bath then painted with code matching paint. Then added a coat of spray glitter from walmarts craft section little wet sand to knock down all the bumps and one final coat of straight clear never cracked or peeled. Also sanding down textured interior pieces to smooth and prepping them right when their painted they will look like their glassed

That red looks horrendous.

Use the SEM products...quality and thats what the detail guy uses at the car lot I work at.

Hey if its there its because its made to my liking not someone else's, don't hate the color or the work done as not everybody here is a prep detailer....

I painted the panels in my first car with the wrinkle paint years ago. I preferred the wrinkle to the smooth because it was easier and I didn't have to make everything perfectly smooth. And it looked really nice.
