yes, i know...yet another interior paint question, sorry!

im painting EVERYTHING inside my car, but the one thing im not to sure about is the vinyl door panels, they are "soft" so im not sure if the paint will hold op or not. anything special i should do?

Your gonna have to die them, they make car vinyl die
paint will just flake/chip right off

I am using the krylon touch on mine, it holds up fine...Make sure to put a few layers of paint and clear coat on it....



re-did one of my doors t'other day and i can get pics of it, this door is with actual vinyl paint. My new pics will be with krylon spray paint...My theory is that you can use whatever you want as long as you prep the surface to take what you want it to...pics up soon :thumbsup

thanks both of you!

hmmmmmmmmm...that color scheme looks mighty familiar...im doing mine in white/blue/grey, LOL.;)

let me know how the krylon look and holds up on the door. if neccisary, ill get the vinyl dye, but id prefere the spray-paint method. if necissary, guess ill have to make fiberglass reproductions and just paint those. im planning on doing a full custom fiberglass dash anyways, so what a couple door panels?;)
