  Good Method of Painting Interior Plastics? **NOT A RICER THREAD PLEASE READ**« » Reply  Edit


Ok before anyone reads the topic and skips down to leave a ricer comment, this is in no way a "i wanna turn my vents neon green" thread, i just baught a del sol and as some of u know even if u get black interior theres still parts of it that have gray like parts of the door panel (vinyl) and the plastics on the roll bar, interior door handle etc, my goals are to make it 100% black on black but im not very familar with how to paint. i know the gray portions that are vinyl ill have to get black vinyl redone on it which is no issue, but im more worried about the hard plastics that are gray, what tools/equipment/technique would i need to make these plastic peices look like the other stock black peices in my car?

I used SEM interior dye on my Accord, and it looks factory. It used to be tan but I redid it in black.

I don't have pictures but i used the same on the door pannels of this old jag i have. I made new wood pannels (like the original) and recovered them with the original vinyl. Didn't look quite right. That stuff did wonders on 30 year old vinyl. I can't really post pics because of low light/unmoveable car at the moment. Just saying i voutch for that stuff.

I swear by SEM Color Coat. I've dyed 3 civic interiors with it, from blue to black, and it looks OEM. I use the finish called "Landau Black", which is semi-gloss and has the same texture and look of oem black interior. My car has sat outside in 100+ degree weather countless times with no signs of chipping, cracking, fading, stickiness, etc.

Here's a shot of my dyed interior!

This looks too good to be true.
What other materials are necessary?
Did y'all just scuff and spray?

How is the drying time on this stuff?
What is the difference between dye in a spray can and just regular interior (vinyl/plastic) spray?
I thought real dye processing was dipping and baking.

Y'all just saved me a grip of money, as I was requesting an invoice for black interior parts

I also used the Landau Black on my parts. They also sell it in quarts and gallons, so you don't have to use the aerosol cans. It was very easy to do since I did go with the cans. Wipe it down with the cleaner and spray it. It dries very quick.

Good info!
Did anybody paint plastic (vents, handles, buttons, armrest, etc...) when dying vinyl?
Last thing I want is a mismatching interior.

Just noticed I unintentionally thread jacked.
My fault, OP.

For those who used cans, how many did you use to do a full dash (dash, bezel, glove box, etc)?

I think it didn't even take a can for the dash. I also did every part inside the car, bezel, airbag, doors. I did wrap the headliner in black suede though.

The parts feel like they are factory,they don't feel dry. And like I said above, you can use it on everything. I did use the SEM adhesive promoter on the plastic parts though. I don't recomend using it on the seats or carpet, as it makes it feel rough.

I want to re-color my blue hard plastic interior black and I want to know what works best, if anything works at all on hard plastic.

You can use it on EVERYTHING. Just follow the directions on the back.
