Painting air vents and other interiors parts?

[onetime_77]

dunno if its been said but I always clean with rubbing alcohol and use latex gloves to keep oil from my fingers off the parts. Then primer...paint....clear. It is pretty important to paint in light layers to assure there is no dripping or anything. So keep all layers light and keep the nozzle clean. Also, just cause it may feel dry and you can't leave finger prints doesn't mean it is dry. When I first started painting interiors I would always think it is dry and run it against something resulting in a scratch. If you want it to look good....TAKE YOUR TIME.

I got my paint at wal-mart, but any local hardware store sells it... Any brand will work, but in my past experiences, krylon is easier to use than the generic brands.

I used the Krylon Fusion paint to paint my dash of my 02 cavalier and all that needed done was just some sanding to make it dull and rough then sprayed it like 10 million times til it looked right. and it looks good other than when the dash was being installed afterward it got chiped by the steering wheel but no big deal. It looks good and matches my car.

no you just want to scuff it a little and i would use more than two coats of paint just use light coats it comes out even and no runs.
