Painting interior...

I know i had saw this somewhere on the org before but cant remember where. Does anyone know what is the best way to paint vinyl and plastic on the interior? I want to use auto paint. Does anyone know what the best way to do this is?

pretty much just clean everything really well especially if it's something you use armoral on...it contains silicone which will contaminate the paint and cause it to fisheye. Spray the pieces about a foot away giving 5-10 min. in between coats. Use as many coats as you want to give it a deeper or lighter texture. You can also throw on a couple coats of clear to protect it and give it a little gloss.i'll be doing this tomorrow on my cars interior trim pieces. good luck.

I would wet sand the pieces to ensure a better surface for the paint. Wet sand it just enought to get rid of the gloss.

Thanks a lot. Im going to use an auto detailing spray gun to do this. Thanks a lot for everything. You think i should prime before painting or is it not worth it?

Dude its not rice... Well it can be rice if you are changing it to red, blue, etc. But black for the plastic is not rice. Dont know what to do about the vinyl. Think i will paint that also black. Mind you this is for a Ford Probe.
I was going to use the stock body color (flat black) and have my friends uncle get me the paint from Ford or wherever they get it from. Also they never made black interior so thats why....
