Over the years, I have found that prep is super important!!! I strongly recommend SEM aerosol & ADHESION PROMOTER!!!! I have jobs/ favors done 10-15 years ago that are still looking like new, and zero fading or edge peel!!! My 94 toyota 4x4 needed an interior part replaced, but I couldn't find grey part. So I bought a blue used piece,and sprayed with Presidio SEM... 19 Years ago..... Part still looks new!! I haven't used any sem or duplicolor on carpet yet.... But I bet it would work.... My 2¢ worth😎

[@tzkxua1011]

do you apply the ADHESION promoter on first or after u paint it?

Acetone is an adhesion promoter. Also it's the only "degrease" you need.

Great tutorial - thank you! It’s great to see someone teach the importance of putting on so many light layers because if you don’t, as has already been said, the paint will not stick and eventually it will stay to bubble up and peel. I’m saying this for people who haven’t done this yet and have watched other videos with guys putting on 2-3 heavy coats.

[@ronmit-p5g]

well never let this guy un snap anything from ur dash or console cant believe he didn't break any clips ... need to learn how to take it easy damn

[@bodeine454]

When did he say that if you put it on too heavy that it will bubble and peel? He didn't, he just said that you can't rush this and spray heavy coats and never explained why. That's one of my biggest pet peeves about someone trying to teach other people how to do something properly. Instead of just telling everyone that you can't rush it and not to spray heavy coats he should have explained why you cant, not just that you simply can't.

[@engineer_alv]

I re-sprayed my truck's vinyl back seat but I used "Rust-Oleum's Fabric and vinyl" and it turned out pretty good. I kept the truck for 2 more years after the re-spray and it didn't rub off nor anything. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to spend hundreds in a dedicated shop.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Thanks for sharing. That's exactly right. A little labor time and you can get very good results. Thanks for watching.

I can confirm Rust-oleum is good paint. I used some to camo paint one of my rifles and I've had that barrel too hot to touch many times since, no fading. Great stuff

Nice work! I done my whole interior paneling in a black from grey on a 05' Blazer 4x4 Red 3M scratch pads And degreaser If you spray vents Make sure you move them around with each layer added Tip for carpets ...Always do a light coat ..Let dry, Use a brush And Brush the carpet left right up down ..The idea is You want loose flowing carpet And not glued together rock hard carpet ..Each coat repeat I done 4 coats to mine ..Never know i was there

[@imnota]

@@freakyflow Yeah I was thinking of doing thin coats anyways to avoid getting a shiny surface. I actually have a good bit of experience painting other things so I think I'll have the technique pretty well, just didn't know if it was a good product and if it's even possible to get lasting results on these type of materials. I also thought of using a plastic adhesion promoter as some people recommend it for this but I'm not sure since the brand themselves don't say it's needed plus they say it's a dye, not paint...

[@freakyflow]

@@imnota Only time i seen a shop actually use adhesion promoter was with insurance jobs which would only do one thing ..Ring up a higher bill $35 in parts $75 in labor $22 in environmental fees / Disposal of chemicals Which was some guy with a spray can throwing on a light coat of Adhesion lol I never used it And i know I can run my finger nails across my dash And not worry about it coming off ..Just make sure you do the sway painting motion I done mine on a nice sunny day with no real wind

Great job! I did a total interior color change on a gmc Sierra slt years ago. It had an ugly blue interior and I changed it to a beige. I did basically the same thing you did in this video. I took the entire interior out and dismantled everything before I re dyed it. I did outsource the upholstery as I went with new leather for the seats though. It all came out amazing! I loved and had that truck for years until I sold it to help buy a new one.

[@MauryanEON]

Did it hold up well?

[@number1pappy]

@Kobe yes it did! I had the truck over 11 years after I did the re-dye color change. One of the cool things about it was I could even use vinyl Protectant on it and it responded exactly like original vinyl! The stuff is amazing! When I did it ,I told myself I didn't want any over spray or anything that would give it away as a cheap re- dye. That's why I did like he did in video. It is a huge pain in the ass as you'll be surprised how many small parts there are. I personally never could find any info on how to take apart or put back together all the interior parts so I just took a lot of pictures and made notes when taking the console ,dash,steering wheel etc etc etc....you get the point. Anyways if you take your time and do multiple thin coats you'll be ok..

[@10100rsn]

Did this on a car before even seeing this video. Very light coats is certainly key when painting these, especially the plastic parts around the ashtrays that might have coatings on them (certainly test paint those first). Did mine in grey and black, the ashtray needed to be sanded with fine grain paper to get some kind of coating off the plastic, paint caused the coating to disintegrate. Couldn't get some of the burns or stains cleaned out of some of the darker plastics but the paint hides them to the point nobody would ever notice. I used a light grey and dark grey satin paint and it came out great. But very light coats is for sure the key to getting a nice even coat without runs, bubbles or dust spots...

Several mist coats really makes a big difference. Great results.

I thought that turned out really well , and a nice colour into the bargain . It just so happens , i painted part of my rv dash , a couple of weeks back , after i converted the radio aperture from single to double din . I've not got a hope in hell , of matching the original finish , so i've decided to Hydro-dip with a wood grain . The panel is sitting in the garage , painted in a suitable base colour , ready for the final film . Unfortunately this has being delayed , due to the supplier running out of the film , i'm gonna use . As for the black panels , i use a plastic refinisher , which i believe is American in origin . It's meant for bumpers , but i've painted pretty much painted , all the faded plastic under the hood . The finish is excellent . Little postscript here , the colour used to paint this dash , is the same colour as my carpet in the rv .

Thanks for the insightful tips on clean and prep. Good info on cleaning the tip of the spray can nozzle, I’m sure that apply to guns as well. My 97 Dodge Ram dash assembly failed from Florida Heat and poor abs plastic formulation. Not only was the dash top cover cracked and brittle but also the dash sub core assembly. I found a sub core assembly on EBay that was not brittle. So I prepped the backside of the plastic with 2 part epoxy resin and fine weave fiberglass cloth. You clean with acetone and then use an 80 grit abrasive sandpaper to open up the pores of the abs plastic, clean again with acetone, let set to for at least an hour ( it’s warm in S Florida) to allow the acetone to throughly dry, then do a bonding layer of 2 part epoxy. Shortly thereafter ( still tacky) followed by a layer of cloth and more epoxy to saturate the cloth. It was very time consuming, but it should not crack again 🙏🏻 and it feels very sturdy. I am now going to use the Duplicolor factory matched mist gray to color the dash. You can find the interior trim color on the door panel ID sticker. I talked to Duplicolor and unfortunately that trim color was not available in the spray can, but they sent me the formulation and directed me to a Duplicolor paint shop that could mix it. It was expensive, like $54 for a pint. I’m getting ready to paint it this week and appreciate the prep and application tips. Thanks

I've used this stuff on vinyl for years. A while ago, I was getting my house ready to sell and doing painting in the basement. Well, my buddy stepped in the paint tray that was sitting on the stairs. Cheap peppered black and white carpet, but it looked like hell with white paint spilled all over. So I get a bright idea and run to the auto parts store and get me 2 cans of black vinyl and carpet paint. It worked great, carpet still has the plush feel (except where the real paint was) I'd definitely try it on a ratty old carpet that needs help.

Did half of my cars upper interior 3 years ago, came back to give a little advice & update on it. Well it’s still in good condition. Highly recommend not using those autozone cleaners to clean the parts you painted when it gets dusty from experience it gets faded and the color under starts to show if you rub to hard. “ I usually just touch it up again and it looks fine “ other than that this stuff is amazing. Even after years of sun exposure it’s still yet to crack or chip, no fade or any major problems.

While you had it apart hitting the grey or black parts with a heat gun would have brought the color right back. Just have to keep the heat gun moving a little slower that if you are painting it keep in mind, the color on those items go all the way through and it comes right back, then you can put protectant on it to keep it that way, 303 Protectant works great and provides UV protection as well.

great result, but a little trick for the faded black plastic that my dad taught me is, put heavy coat of silicone spray on them let it absorb into the plastic for a day then clean it with a microfiber towel and after that put a thin coat every time you clean the car or if it still looks a bit faded do the same thing but let absorb for 2 or 3 days. works wonders and actually protects the plastic too. also you dont need to heat them up and make them brittle in order for them to look black again

To improve the black plastic milking use a heat gun on a low setting in a fast swirl pattern until the milk starts to dis appear. This takes some practice, patience and cool down time between second and third go over to avoid over heating melting the plastic or worse burning it. Higher ridges and prominent parts will heat more rapidly than flat areas. Lower corners and crevasses won’t respond to a large heat gun so switching to a finer nozzle air weld gun will do the trick.

[@LilDirt12]

A cool pro tip I learned was you can brighten up the color of your leather seats or your interior all you need is acetone and the paint that you want to use whatever matches or You can even just change the color of your interior you have now if you don't like it. What you do is you first use a degreaser soapy warm water, of course follow with clean water. wipe everything down with acetone on a cloth to remove any dirt and grease or residue that might be left on it, pour some acetone into a cotton cloth towel then spray your spray paint into the cloth on top of the acetone and then rub the seats or interior. What this does is It dilutes the paint so it's not super thick, which prevents it from chipping or peeling later, helps the color to adhere and blend together. You don't have to use so much paint which is the money saver. I did this technique inside of an expensive luxury vehicle that was trashed. And it came out amazing. The leather seats were still supple and beautiful and the interior finally matched and looked amazing. For some reason this interior had two different colors on the panels. Beige up front and gray in the back. Like they ran out of one material and started using another it was really bizarre. So we decided to make it all match. Wear some gloves cuz you don't want to be absorbing acetone on your hands all day because they'll end up drying out your skin. If you want a totally different color but aren't sure which color You would like do multiple test spots so you can make sure that's the color that you like. I used rustoleum spray paint I also used some epoxy spray paint. Both worked wonders. You're in a hurry you can use a hair dryer or a heat gun at a good distance This helps the paint dry faster. The idea behind wiping on the paint instead of spraying it on is that You don't have to disassemble everything. You can paint it in place without any overspray because there is none. When applied this way it's a thinner layer of paint, it's mixed with a acetone so that it dilutes the paint and the acetone helps the paint combined with the prior color that's already on it. Zero runs zero streaks. This technique prevents flaking or chipping later as time goes by. It creates a durable surface. And you can use a gloss paint or you can use a mat or a semi-gloss or satin. One more tip don't use a gloss on your dashboard because the glare of the sun reflecting off of it is a nightmare. So I would definitely recommend a satin or mat finish in that area. 👍 I love how meticulous you are by removing every screw every panel every everything. Most people are lazy or impatient and don't take the proper steps.

I would have taken the time to tape off and paint the black parts. It still looks so much better though! Why have i never thought about wiping the nozzle off between coats? Admittedly, i havent spray painted many things in my life, but I'm definitely filing that one away in the ole memory bank for when i need to!

Bringing my derelict 95 Cavalier back to life for its upcoming 30th birthday spent most of the last month painting the floorpans with chassis saver and cleaning all the hornets nests out of the body. The gas tank was a massive nest so I had to replace it just now getting new interior in from a 97 model. Does Duplicolor work on carpet as well?

[@IDontTalkToCops]

Looks great. Why didn’t you paint your black plastics while you had them out?
