ok so i was reading the sticky on painting the dash and went to autozone to buy the supplies wen i came across the dupli color vinyl and fabric paint. Now the sticky said he used the wheel paint so i bought both.
Anyone kno which one is better out of the two?

Dupli-color high performance wheel coating (light grey ish)

Dupli-color vinyl and fabric coating (medium grey ish)

Also tips on painting?? whats better hung up or on piece of cardboard??

Thnx -JC

oh yea tigersharkdude, ive seen ur car on the domain b4. it turned REAL nice, but no way do i have the money nor resources for that lol thnx for the input.

 

IT WAS FREE!!! my uncle did it

 

lucky. he should do mine too haha


Anyone else opinions???????????? Wheel paint or vinyl?!

 

I've had experience with the vinyl paint to touch up a section of my dash. It still holds it's color and I'd use it again. Just my .02.

 

like i said, what i used originally worked awesome
just do each piece individually and take your time, if not it will look like ****

 

i used the krylon fusion on my honda b4 da max and it came out awesome. just make sure u let the primer dry. i tried painting it right after the primer and it got all bubbly and peely.... yea i know im dumb.... lol

 

That's what I would recommend too. I used it for my 96 and it's holding up very well.

i should add that sem is a specialty company and will yield superior results to stuff like krylon and duplicolor. i have colored almost every piece of plastic in my car as well as the dash. this stuff is easy to work with and very forgiving. prep is the most important step.
