Ok, I have a slight dilema here. And I need help!!! AHhhhh!!! Hehehe. Ok, my fiance is driving me nuts, but I didnt say that. He is painting the interior of his S10. And it is not cooperating how he would like it too. He took off his door panel, sanded it down and cleaned it with denatured alcohol. Then he spray painted it. The brand paint he is using is Dupi-Color, it says it is for the interior vinyl on vechiles, but it was cheap only $3.99 (I dont know if that means anything). He put on about 3-4 coats. Then he sprayed Rustolem over it to seal/protect it. It looked fine after that. But the next day dun dun dunnn...there was a bunch of little bubbles and it had cracked. Also you could just peel the paint off like it didnt bond to the plastic. Now my questions are : Should he have primed it before hand? If so what brands are there that we should use? Could it be because there is residue of the denatured alcohol on it? Could it be the brand paint we are using? I have only seen a couple other brands. What brands would you recommend?
I would really apperciate any help. I have been looking ALL over the net for specif answers but they are all so vague. I hope I can find the help on here. I would like to know so I know what to do when I start the interior of my car! Hehehe! Thanks!

how long did Joe Genious wait before he dropped the sealer over it. the bubbles probably happened because he didnt let the paint dry long enough between coats and applying the sealer immediately after it. for primer you should refer to the painting instructions on the Vinyl spray paint. if he does it again let (first layer) of paint dry for 2 hours between every coat and let it sit for 2 maybe 3 days before adding sealer to the mix(if it ever needs any) for sealer try Duplicolor kind

DONT USE RUSTOLEUM THIS IS STRONG NASTY SMELLING SHIT AND ITS MEANT FOR OUTDOOR USE

usually when my friends change the color of Vinyl we usually replace the entire vinyl with the colored kind,might cost more(not alot but more than 3.99) but it looks right. painting it wont look right and it will wear off over time not to mention the fumes after that

hope it helps
