Interior Paint. What paint do I need?

[bcjammerx]

check my 4 sale threads for great ideas on panels maybee ull want to just pic up my lether n suede door panels!

that leather was nice...but not really up for buying stuff right now and I don't have any parts to swap. Not a bad idea to look in the for sale section though.

which was why I was super curious about using dye...cheaper...someday I'll upgrade to leather...but I'll have to do quit a bit more before that stage is set

SEM has pretty much all the interior dyes and paints you'll need. You may pay more than the DUPLI-COLOR products, but it's well worth it.

Get a few kiddie pools for dying!

SEM and VHT both make excellent vinyl/plastic dyes. They penetrate and molecularly bond to the material and change the pigment rather than just cover it like paint. I just ordered some Tintex dye for the fabrics. I prefer dye over paint for interior parts, since it won't wear off, peel, crack or chip. I have my misgivings about fabric paint for seats.

both of these guys hit it on the head for the vinyl/plastic use the SEM vinyl paint from an auto parts store. (its what actuall upholsters use)

as for the "dying" of the fabric for the seats i reccomend against it every dye job i have every seen has bled or had overspray on other ares of the car. colors dont match and tend to fade quickly. i reccomend taking the seats and getting them recovered or finding grey or black seats.

good luck in all your plans though man. i miss my accord now...

Man. I love my seats. I don't want to get rid of them. I guess if you take the time and you're careful enough doing the job it can turn out pretty good. I was planning on experimenting on trash fabric and plastic before actually trying to paint my interior.

What happened to your Accord?

From what I have learned here and online about those sprays is that yes they are permanent. SEM seems to be highly recommanded for things like dash boards and after surfing on the net, VHT seems to be pretty good for seats as long as you're careful enough and take your time to do the job properly in order not to put too much paint at one spot while there's not enough at other places because that way the color won't match.

Here you have the descriptions, prices for VHT cans and what exactly they're are for.

Good Luck with yours.

VHT is NOT suitable for use on cloth or fabric. To change the color of stock cloth seats, you'll either have to have them reupholstered or use a fabric-specific dye.

Really? Hm. I've been on their website and not just it says they have paint for seats but there's even a picture of them on one of their cans. Are they lying about it? Just wondering why they would say it's for seats if they aren't really.
