Duplicolor vs. Krylon Paint

[lilsweets3138]

Okay, I will be trying to paint my interior and would like to know which one of these brands are best. I will be doing the plastic dash part, not sure what it's called but it's the area behind the steering wheel. I do know it's not vinyl though..I think.

I've used the Krylon Fusion on many projects around the house, and am very pleased with the product. My only problems with the product are a lack of available colors,(I wish they had a wider variety,) and my local stores stocking enough on their shelves. In the past I have used other Krylon products,(this was before their Fusion line came out,) on the interior of my 1964 Bel Air with excellent results.

yeah, not a wide selection but i lucked out and this color matched my car almost perfectly.

I really like that color. I tend to go for the "offbeat" colors and something like that fits the bill. I'll have to keep an eye out the next time I'm in the store for that color. Maybe I'll do a chair or something with it.

Just got done painting my tire carrier on my car with satin finish black, to match the original color of the plastic.
I also used Fusion Pink gloss finish on some shutters on my kids' play house 5 years ago. Still holding up good, considering the weather changes we go through here.

The local Ace Hardware in town carries a full line of Fusion paint, must be at least 50 different colors, in 3 different finishes (not all colors; gloss, satin,flat).

Give Ace a try if you have one nearby.

Then there is always the option of visiting your local auto paint supplier. They can mix any color you want, in nearly any volume from ¼ pint to 55G drums. They can even put it in aerosol spray cans for you. You'll get an exact match of real automotive paint that way.

I must say the alien is cute! hehe. So I guess Krylon it is, I am assuming I prime it first with plastic primer by krylon then paint and then the krylon gloss.

Thanks for your help.

I like Duplicolor better.

No primer needed.

The paint is made specifically for plastic.
Just clean the plastic with soap & water- make sure to remove any grease, and remove any residue with water.
