What have you guys used?

I fed up a couple of my interior pieces by sanding them first....texture is jacked now!

I have a couple new pieces but they are different colors so I am probably going to paint them and the right way this time.

What paints have you guys used?

use only sem coat products ... they are the best and can reproduce factory colors correctly... if your doing black get sem coat satin black it is a 100% reproduction of factory honda black

i did my whole interior with the sem coat satin (used to be blue)
before

after

N2HIFI - did you sand or prep at all, or just remove the stuff from car, clean really well and then paint? Did you just like two coats? I need to do this to my Accord.

I scuffed all the panels with a red scuff pad then used sem coats plastic prep to clean it and then did 3-4 layers

I'll have to steal errr I mean buy some random test pieces from the junk yard and practice on before I mess up my interior.

Stupid question, but what is a red scuff pad?

I'm a dummy.

I believe Sikkens paint has interior color paints to where you just clean the plastics with their plastic cleaner then you paint it to keep the texture. Dupont also has a similar thing. I'd just goto mid-nite auto and get some Bulldog plastic adhesive and a red scuff pad and paint away.

Where is Bulldog. I need to find some paint shops out here in the Chuck to buy materials from. Any other shops out this way?

Also to the OP make sure you do not use gloss paint as it will cause a big glare on the window.
