Dash painting

Post by mazdamxstyle »

I know there's a lot of posts about painting interior, and Ive done some painting but only to the plastic pieces. I was wondering whats the final verdict on what paint should be used for the doors and dash, all those style pieces. And when you say dye is it just a paint in a spray can but its different? I just need some clarification, Im going to re-do my interior in all white, I dont think its been done in a blaze red mx3. I might try something totally new, but I really do like the white look.

im using some vinyl paint from krylon and what i did was wet sanded (using degreaser) the vinyl with 420 (lightly dont get all heavy duty you'll rip the vinyl) you want it just enough where it removes the wax and the degreaser will make the vinyl become dried up like. <p>after that i did 1 coat let dry another coat let dry and 1 more then i sanded it a bit with the 420 to get rid of the lil imperfections, did 3 more coats same as above
and they look great, i should be finished in the next few days, i gotta do the FG inserts so thats gonna take some time.
