How To Paint/Dye Interior Vinyl & Plastic Parts - Mustang & Lightning Tech (Fox Body, SN95 & S197)

[@latemodelrestoration]

Yes it is. It is the key to helping the paint last and not having to come back to redo the job later.

[@striderarj8256]

If your using your air from the shop compressor to blow of the water make sure the compressor has an oil separator installed on it. If not a small amount of oil from the compressor can be blow on your newly cleaned part and this can cause fisheyes in the new paint.

I just picked up a 71 GTO. I'm want to use a lot of interior parts from my 70 Lemans donor to save on cost. Thanks for posting this!

[@johnpalma7265]

Yeah,gloves might be a good idea, don't worry about contaminating the part,worry about contaminating yourself.A respirator may be a good idea also especially indoors.Thanks for the video.

[@rcharne]

Is it me but nearly every video about applying rattle can spray dyes and paints have the guy doing the spraying not wearing a respirator or any protective coverings for the eyes, or skin. The ingredients in rattle cans are lethal. I have a neighbor who used to paint tons of stuff in his garage using rattle cans and over the years, he became very ill from the buildup of toxins in his blood. And those toxins get in your body, they don't leave

No pussys here sir

[@davieboy1970]

I see everybody talking about how important it is to get all that dirt and grease off the surface.. my interior on my Mustang was so stand. It was horrible. I couldn’t get it all off. But I still ended up painting it over the stains and it actually turned out super nice.

[@keithmorrison4182]

Amazing, was trying to figure out a way to get new speaker grills for my 91 vert. Since they no longer make them and a friend suggested I just paint my original ones. I followed the instructions like I have with so many other Late model resto videos and nothing short of excellent. These guys really know there stuff and know how to make an old car look young again. I added a coat of primer in the mix but regardless my speaker grills look brand new. Thanks Late model resto!

[@austinpalmer4295]

Is the 2005 mustang gt black interior the same as the 2004 interior Bc CJ pony parts doesn’t offer black paint for the 2005 mustang gt

[@latemodelrestoration]

We offer interior paint for 05-09. Here's the link: lmr.com/item/MET-FV5B8K/05-14-mustang-interior-paint-kit-charcoal-black

[@ColdWarVet607]

Nice jobs, thanks much. You did, rather nicely a different color but very close to the original. I want to do a completely different color change. Does that work with the dye. Is vinyl / faux leather subject to blotching? Thanks

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thank you for the feedback! If done incorrectly or the prep work isn't good, vinyl/faux leather is subject to botching. I would recommend watching a dedicated video pertaining to refinishing vinyl/faux leather.

[@calebponder69]

You guys at 5.0resto are rad i havent ordered parts yet but when i do you guys get my vote the extensive rezto vids are just what the stang Dr ordered keep up the awesome work ! (86 four eye 5.0 GT) ;)

Could this be used on a chevrolet c1500 interior parts i purchased the truck with brown interior and that interior ages pretty bad looks dirty even if clean i would like to either restore color or change to gray the truck is a 91

[@marcotoni231]

you guys are really good at explaining things and making them simple. good job

[@barbarakalchik1180]

Have a 73 Camaro. Some of the interior parts are metal, can these paints be used on those as well and what is the prep process? You guys put out some awesomely simple informative videos! Barbara

[@roadstar499]

great job! I have a gmc truck 2004 which needs interior touching up...where do I purchase the correct color paint mainly dash board which is vinyl...thanks

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

I know I'm late but sem has paint and has a book full of oem colors. My local paint shop had that booklet and I was able to get the right color for my truck.

What is your doing a colour change? I order the 2 pint kit I have parchment interior and I’m doing a two tone black and parchment, I was told to sand off old colour, wondering how y’all would say to do it

[@Snakejunn]

First of all, thank you for posting these videos. these are a great resource for people like me who need a little extra help or ideas. I have a couple of questions. #1 - Maybe this was answered already, but can these dyes/paints be used for a color change? I have the gray in the video and like many want to change to the rare black interior. #2 - Maybe a stupid question, but do the scotch brite pads come in different grits? Just want to be thorough.

[@ummwhodidnt]

FYI people, These aren’t good for color CHANGING. The old color will start to show through unless maybe you use the adequate primer.

[@BlightedOs]

Hi, great video, however i have a question - what if i want to make an interior part a bit glossy, should i put any lacquer coat on the paint and then polish it until i get results I am wanting, or it isn't necessary?

[@EricNguyener]

Can you guys make a video on respraying a black front molding? The molding isn't detachable and is a part of the front bumper cover, unlike the side moldings.

[@fredmauerman4908]

I work with industrial engines and we clean a lot of parts with lacquer thinner and we use about 30 gallons a week, mind you we use gloves and masks and we dont spray it period, we just use small brushes and cleans parts with them, after many years you become immune to it,basically you dont get high anymore,we have customers come in sometimes and go DAMN!!

[@comtec25]

I just purchased your black 79-86 console dash pad a few days ago along with a can of your Canyon Red spray paint. Due to the black color of the dash pad, should there be a primer type base paint before spray painting it with the Canyon Red? If not, will your simple video process work to cover the dark black color? As for your video, you're simply coloring over with the same type color versus fully changing to a different color. Thank you..

[@cobyp99]

Would you be able to use this on other manufacturer cars. Like lets say a nissan 300zx?

[@hotrodlincolnchannel6266]

What's a good way to remove paint off plastic interior. I bought a 84 mustang, looks like the interior was tan, and the owner before painted it a bright red. It wasn't a good job as it's chipping, but want to bring back to stock. Any suggestions

[@latemodelrestoration]

Denatured alcohol will normally do the trick for removing the old paint. This will not be as harsh as some acetones that could eat the plastics. Make sure to clean as much off as possible first using the red scotch brite with soap and water first, then go to the alcohol for the last step.

[@lordrockable]

I have some scratches on my dashboard and i wish to repaint them to remove those scratches, should i follow the same instructions that are provided in this video? and how can i tell the exact color of my dashboard? and what kind of paint should i choose for the job so it doesn't peel off or look off? thank you.

[@LK-fz7vr]

I feel like no matter how many times you cost using spray paint it always tends to chip or scratch easily. Is this expected on this project?

[@latemodelrestoration]

With this type of paint, you can get away with a little more flex than with other paints since it is designed for interior surfaces.

[@gustavopolanco6925]

Does the sun damage the paint if you paint the dashboard? I live in Florida and the heat its ridiculous. Lol

[@latemodelrestoration]

The sun will damage anything when it's exposed. I would invest in a good windshield visor and ceramic window tint. -Landan

[@AviatorRL753]

Is it safe to Armor All the interior after its painted after a few days or will it damage the paint?

[@chronosun13]

how many cans would you recommend to refresh all plastics and metals in the interior? Also will these sprays get tacky in the south texas heat?

[@dragonrider9051]

8 cans for a car 6 for a truck, 3 cans of plastic adhesive for prep. It's dye color not paint, it will bond if done correctly no tacky feeling like paint. Those first two coats going with a light dusting is key to longevity.

[@SaTRONiC11]

Do I have to use the laquoer paint for plastics will the vinyl paint work good ..I already ordered the cans of vinyl lol

[@latemodelrestoration]

the lacquer paint is for hard plastic parts. The vinyl pain is intended for the vinyl material.

[@SaTRONiC11]

Okay thanks just ordered one can for the plastics

[@SaTRONiC11]

Well my cans came in and looks like y'all are selling the same cans just putting labels over the front the UPC number is located on the bottom of the can ..and well on all the cans the UPC number is the same which means it's the same product with different stickers thrown on ....I kinda feel like you made me waste money on a extra can I dident need.

[@justafanmarvel9669]

can you dye or paint an interior from a darker color to a lighter color or only the other way around?

[@Archeides]

I'm not positive, but I would think that if you put enough coats on it, it should be fine.

[@FoxFreak]

Great video. J-Mac you are an excellent host, but I gotta be honest I bought 12 cans of the 90-93 black SEM paint from you guys and changed my interior from "porno-red" to black and the red is quickly starting to show its ugly face again. I know the prep was done very, very well and I know the paint is a good quality product, but I would recommend against using paints or dyes to change one's interior color. Advice to others: Just buy OEM plastics in your preferred color when applicable. Thx

[@ummwhodidnt]

I might be 9 years late but Should’ve used primer buddy. Mainly commenting this for people that are gonna try this like me. Watch a different video that’s for color CHANGING interior for the right process.

[@fatwalletboy2]

is it long lasting ie: what are long term effects of sunlight and heat and cold with painted plastic trim?

[@latemodelrestoration]

If you prep the surface well and lay down nice, even coats then this paint will last a very long time. I sold my old '99 Mustang GT to a local guy that I still talk to, and the pieces I repainted in that car are still going strong after 7 years. -Landan

[@PP-py4tn]

warning: unless you're a shitty car flipper, this fix won't last on your own daily driver. the paint will scratch off very easily and you'll see the original color on every scratch.

will that spray open the pores on my face too?

[@luistangt]

can i go from tan to black?

[@TrOlLkInGs14]

Yes sorry for a major late reply

[@FancyAnimal]

You’re better off going to a paint store and looking at paint chips to match the color. I painted the console with the smoke gray and the shade wasn’t even close...way lighter. You’d have to paint the entire dash and armrest to get this to work just due to the aging and UV damage of the existing interior color.

[@ikaros21]

does it feel rough to the touch?

Some people scuff/sand and then paint without primer. Is that good enough for a thorough paint job? Is it either or... Like. Could you clean, prime, paint. or scuff and paint?

[@Cisco4253]

I cleaned with a scotchbrite pad with soap and water and then used duplicolor adhesion promoter and painted. I tried scraping a part that's hidden when it's all together and it took effert to actually scratch it.

To what end? It seems like they just got something better to replace it with. The application should be the exact same.

Does this process work for changing color as well

[@DeathByLego]

It’s alittle late, but depending on the color yes. It’ll be harder to cover up a black vinyl. But it’s possible. Red to black would be easy

[@mcintosh325]

so how do u like seal the paint?

[@PainterFRO]

Or you could scuff the parts with the Scotch Brite pad without the soap and water, wipe it with some wax and grease remover then tack it off with a tack rag and you are ready to paint.

[@joelbranscum7997]

Of your going to do this do everything he said but when you wipe the pannel with the alcohol if you see anything on the rag it's not clean enough it will peal.

[@robertboyd321]

I can't tell the difference between before & after

[@Pigpen76]

will this work on the seats as well?

[@Archeides]

I feel like the answer would be no. I'm no expert in any sense, I would just imagine that each time you sit on it, the paint/dye would crack more and more.

[@jasonnapier8558]

Why would you not use a different color to show the difference ?

What the kit does is it reinforces the spring with a little bracket thats drilled to the ashtray arm so the spring wont jump out anymore, i fixed mine 8 years ago and still works perfect
