You used that on the fabrics or the plastics?

Have you tried recovering ur seats in vinyl or leather and if so wut are the pros and cons of doing it and how difficult is it?

I've used the paint on both plastic and fabric
here's some interior parts from my mazda that I did

the seat

and my cousin's interior that we're working on for his civic

pros-looks really cool if done right, repels stains and easier to clean than fabric
cons-really cold in cold weather, hot and stretchy in hot weather, is a bitch if you get a cut in it

so for the plastics i pretty much take them out if possible, clean them with soapy water and then apply a couple coats of primer. Then let the primer dry and apply as many coats of paint as i think is needed.....let that dry completely and then apply the finish?

kicker1_solo · 01-26-2003, 12:21 AM

yup

scarlemthug · 01-26-2003, 12:23 AM

Maybe i should go to a junkyard and pick up some panels from da same model civic and try with different types of paint to see which works best?

what kind and year is your car? and yeah, that would be a great idea, and if they turn out great the first time, just use those ones on your car.

im working on a 98 automatic civic DX. Off the top of your head what are some paitns u have heard of being used to paint plastics?

kicker1_solo · 01-26-2003, 12:37 AM

Krylon is probably the most popular

scarlemthug · 01-26-2003, 12:43 AM

So ill try out krylon and dupli-color. Any other suggestions?

whats the best primer and clear coat to use?

kicker1_solo · 01-26-2003, 12:47 AM

not sure about those two, sorry

scarlemthug · 01-26-2003, 12:53 AM

Thats ok, the info you have giving me is great. Once i start doing it ill post pics of it. Hopefully it turns out as good as yours. Hopefully someone on here will reply with the know how about primers and clear coating.

kicker1_solo · 01-26-2003, 12:54 AM

cool, can't wait to see the pics.

scarlemthug · 01-26-2003, 12:57 AM

Right now the car is stock black but im hoping to get it painted with like 7 clear coats and match that to the interior and accent it with the silver/grey and use blue neon in the footwells, under the seats and leds in the climate controls and any other lights in or on the car.
