78347, interior paint
Posted by 96rs-t, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
can anyone lead me to a site to buy some great interior paint. i want to transform my interior to all black, but want it to look just like the stock pieces. I bought the middle console from the dealer in black, and it gets pretty expensive, so anyways, i want a paint that will match the stock black of my console. tia

Don't bother with anything out there. I have tried alot and none has held up as well as Testors Model Paint. It was intended for plastic and it works great. You can buy it in a spray can at Wal-Mart or any hobby store.. I used a flat black and used some back to black to bring out the glossy-ness. If you use their gloss black it will look like shit. You can also clear coat it if you would like but let the paint cure for 24 hours before you clear it. I'll see if I can get some pics when I get home, but it looks stock I did it on my trunk and underside of my dash only other parts of my car that were gray.. fortunatley I did'nt have the gray dash or door skins.

there is an OEM black colored trim paint available at autozone, i think krylon makes it...if you aren't retarded and take your time it comes out looking exactly like stock trim. I am in the process of doing the same. I don't use clear coat, and the paint holds up very well to abuse.

It is made for this type of application since it was produced to restore a new looking black color to old black trim...so do it...do it now.

I used duplicolor vinyl and facric dye which is available at most autopart stores. If you prep the area good then you wont have a problem with flaking. But you have to understand that most paint is going to come off if feet/stuff keeps scraping away at the area. My car held up fine except some pieces in the trunk because i don't think i preped it well enough. here are pics. The entire on this car was completly grey before










heres the link to many more pics.

I used the same and it looks awesome. Better then that stock blue for sure. Optimus's looks great also so I think either will do good, just prep it right! I learned the hard way.
