15743 napa-red colorcoat for most vynal leather plastic interior

I was hoping for an exact brand/color...but I guess a few pics of the cans at terrible angles will do.

the thing with dying vinyl is that unless some sort of sealer is applied on it, friction will always take the dye off. ask me how i know. The right way to do is it bleach or acetone the original dye off but that escalates the labor needed.

thanks ak, I dont like too many holes; simplicity=beauty plus i like to be different. u cant see the spray cans in the pics lol..yea their almost the same but theres always gonna be different types of leather.. but the application is the same if ur dying vynal or leather

What are you using to dye your interior?

And randomish question, but the door card materials on vinyl and leather interiors is the same, right?

Wow this is awesome.
The front valance looks cool too. I like small different things like that.

Post more!

keep this in mind..something that has to be painted shud always be prepped otherwise the paint wont stick. whatever has overspray obviously wasnt prepped therefore the paint isnt fully stuck there.

[palimuin]

overspray can be taken out with cleaning products like solvo wax/grease remover or even more intense like laquer thinner..that way u dont have to repaint anything just cleaning will cut thru. or if ur just trying to respray the black moldings u can scotch them real quick and spray them with a can of trim paint

320 grit ull be fine followed by the right primer..i did 320>primer>600 wetsand. they dont get that hot, and any more sanding than needed and ur only eating up the plastic. i just did enuf to get them all nice and smooth. how do u think plastic bumpers r repaired ;)

hah thanks for the info! I have some plastic pieces with like 3 layers worth of respray. some recommendations are telling me just to buy new pieces outright or source one with the oem paint on it because sanding it will be very labor intensive given the extra attention needed for plastics. I find their recommendations time consuming and expensive.
