Re: Interior trim painting
you talking something like i have here?
If this is what your talking about yes there are certain steps to take to make it stay there for a long time. And not flake off in a few months in the summer time.
1st. our dashes and center council's have a rubber coating on them it has to be removed. to do this you need to ether sand it off or use thinner to help you eat it off Once it is gone you should have a smooth surface.
2. VERY IMPORTANT STEP!!! USE WHAT THEY CALL ADHESION PROMOTER FOR PLASTICS. I WIPED MINE TWICE TO MAKE SURE I GOT EVERYTHING REAL GOOD ALLOW TO FLASH OFF AND WIPED WITH TACH CLOTH THEN SHOT IT.
3. sand the surface of the part with at least a 8oogrit papaer for the final. I started mine with a 400 and then went to 600 on it after the primer was done then i went to a 800 wet dry sand paper for wet sanding. then i would shoot wet sand shoot wet sand
4. After you get the color and the primer the way you want it let it dry real good for at least as long as your directions on the can say before shooting Clear on to it. Then start over wet sand clear wet sand clear. I have 5 coats of paint and 7 of clear on my dash each one is wet sanded and then the final was wet sanded with 1000grit paper and then buffed up with a buffer to get the shine in to it.
The more clear the deeper the shine. Also it will help to have more coats of clear on it to help absorb the abuse So it wont flake on you if something should hit.
some tips for you to use.
Make sure the area your shooting in is ventilated real good
Use a good product not the krylon out of the can if you want it to last. Most paint shops can load it in to a rattle can for you.
Also TACH CLOTHES ARE YOUR FRIEND'S!!! USE THEM!!!!

RE: INTERIOR TRIM PAINTING

The shipping will be on you pluse supplies.
but im game to working on them Im goign to be doing some more here shortly on mine i want to do around the door handels also in the inside where they are hard plastic. then i will do the pillars in gloss black also.
keep toying with the idea of adding some flames to the dash to but if i do they will match what is on the hood when i get those done. and will be air brushed at the same time so i know i have the right paint on them
