Painting interior
just wondering if the paint for interiors really holds up. I have a grey and black interior and would like the plastic panels to be black. One is getting a color that matches well but how does that stuff hold up over time? I really want it to look professional.

I'm the same way too. i remember watching the speed channel off of gears. a guy was showing a 4 step process of cleaning and getting the panel's ready for paint of home or professorial.
i wanna it to do it but too afraid of the paint cripping off in the long run.

i have painted a few panels, the first bad but then they got better, and the main difference was cleaning.. when you think you have the panel clean keep cleaning.... it needs to be spotless and as free of any type of oils as possible, and with the right kind of paint made for plastics it will adhere and be very resistant to peeling and chips of any sort ... like i said after having some practice, my lastest projects have lasted a few years or so i would guess with no peeling... just keep everything CLEAN !!

I have painted a few peices of my interior with krylon plastic paint, and it came out really good since it was maroon and now is black. To prep it all i did was wash the peice with soapy water and then let it dry really good. The paint has been on for about 2 months and the paint still looks just as good as it did, and cleans just like the original peices.

sem trim paint. bit more expensive then krylon or typical auto part paint but it requires less prep work, lasts longer and looks more factory. you can get the same results using cheaper paint but it takes more work.
i always red rag my pannels and then degrease them. never an issue.

I painted several things, I bought new pieces from the Dealer and still washed the hell out of them, I didn't used sand paper because I wanted to keep the texture the same as all the black stock pieces. Held up 2 years and going.
