OT: Painting car interior trims

[favaks 0]

I'm looking for detailed instruction on how to paint car interior trims. Has anybody done this before?

Thanks,

Any variety of methods work, but my best results have come from using (no lie) vinyl top paint.

Yep!!, Go to your nearest PPG paint store (automotive) and they sell the trim paint and have the instructions that go along with the paint. In the instruction, they explain what products to prep the metal, plastic, or cloth. I've used these several times, and all of their products and cleaners/prep stuff has worked quite well. I think the trim paint is produced by a company called SEM!! You didn't mention if the trim was plastic or metal. If it is plastic, if you use the cleaner and prep, it kinda softens the plastic up so that it grips the paint better. Good luck and have fun!

It's soft plastic. I'll drop by the automotive store and check it out. Thanks,

Yeah, i know what you mean about the prices!!! I've painted a couple of suburbans with custom paint jobs, and i had about $1,000 in materials. And people keep asking me why i can't paint their cars and trucks for $400 and have them look like mine do!! I sure do like a good paint job!!

Well then... take a look at these! (click on images after the home page loads)

My brother does the chassis and suspension and most of the mechanical; his boss Bob does the paint. The pics don't do the paint jobs justice at all though.
