@@Misterdre2youHey what brand of paint did you use and did you scuff it with a fine or sort of ruff pad?..& how many coats of paint did you use? I'm asking because I want to paint my upper tahoe panels but want to avoid the problems I'm reading.
SEM landau black scratched right off. Gonna try ColorBond Skid Mark Black with their adhesion promoter. These panels are made of PP Polypropylene. It's so hard to get glue or anything to stick to them unless it's specifically for PP. Colorbond says it will adhere to this type of plastic.
I did this, make sure you prep or it will start chipping. Also spraying the part red will make the material more stiff like sandpaper so its better to wrap it with a red cloth material.
sweet mother of mercy that is a clean build. only thing I would change is the color of those X beams on the roll cage. everything else is 8 out of 8 mint AF
I only had these parts in my car for like 5 months because it was only a temporary thing. I had all parts replaced with all black panels. The parts does get scuffed up white easily and can be rubbed away with water. It's kind of like scratching your skin with your fingernail; the skin scuffs up white but when you wipe with water it goes away.
Noy Yamaguchi - Exactly! If you’ve seen my older videos, I had a custom 7 point roll cage where the front portion was LHD specific. Now that I have RHD, it wouldn’t fit so I removed the front portion and subbed in the side bars.
Always, ALWAYS clean before sanding anything, sanding first force dirt,grim and wax type products into your project causing new painted surface to peal and or crinkle

@@BigDreamsGarage - I'm actually confused. Are you talking about the fabric on the door card or the structure of the door card? Because in this video, I painted it red so what you see is fresh paint on the fabric. For the structure, I don't understand how you're supposed to clean it up when it's underneath the fabric where nobody will ever see. It's like removing carpet in your house and cleaning the wood floors and putting the carpet back on. Nobody will ever do that.
I only did this because it was a temporarily interior look until my real black interior panels came in a few months after. I no longer have any of these pieces inside my are because it has all been swapped with the real items. During those few months of having these inside, I can tell you that it didn't chip nor flake off. However, the panels scuff very easily. It's exactly like taking your fingernail and scratching it across your arm. It turns white but when you rub it away, it will come off just like your scraped skin. The painted panels have the exact same effect.
Idk how to go about my dash pieces. I basically can not take out every piece. Its all one. How do i got about something like that?? Cant paint with a brush i assume so
YOU DIDNT BRUSH THE FABRIC BETWEEN COATS 🤓 You’re supposed to do that, otherwise as the fabric shifts, you’ll see the original color underneath. I’m a woman. I’ve done this to my car too.. ❤️
Good music but how do you paint both sides of the plastic and apply clear coat before the base paint has set? Also, how do you get a clean and precise masking (what tape do you use, how do you cut it, etc.)?
I didn't apply clear coat or any clear coat before the base paint. You don't need to paint both sides of the plastic since the inside is never seen but you can do it if you want. I just use normal masking tape from Walmart, nothing special. I didn't cut at all, I just ripped the tape.
Hey man, I don’t know if you’ll see this, but if you do by any chance, does this method work with those sun visors? Or do they need some different paint?
Do I have to wait that long to reinstall the parts? I’m doing the plastic casing around my dash vents my plastic radio frame and The plastic around my shift knob?
The absolute best clearcoat to use as a consumer is any 2K clear coat. It is absolutely amazing. They are expensive for a can (usually $25-35) but they are so worth it. However, I don't know if you want your interior that shiny though because it'll make any surface look like the paint finish on the outside of your car. The most popular 2K clear coat is USC Max Spray. There's several other brands too, and they're all basically similar.
I think you can definitely repaint but it makes sense that it would be worse quality than the first application because you are going on top of imperfect surface. If you do repaint, then I suggest you sand down the old parts. Even though painting over the old paint is worse, I think it'll be barely noticeable though.

It's good to wait long because the paint needs time to fully cure. Curing is more important that just drying to the touch.
did u use glossy or matt black ???
Matte black!
Going to give this a try. Those 1990's grey interiors are so not cool.

what kind of clear coat should you use to protect the paint from chipping? any clue?
The absolute best clearcoat to use as a consumer is any 2K clear coat. It is absolutely amazing. They are expensive for a can (usually $25-35) but they are so worth it. However, I don't know if you want your interior that shiny though because it'll make any surface look like the paint finish on the outside of your car.

How long do you scuff for?

That would be good too but this paint is specifically for fabric and vinyl. Are you able to find a primer that is made for these materials too? If yes, then it's good.
What did you do with the smell of the paint when its done?
Nothing. You let it naturally air itself out with windows down and driving too.
May i ask what paint u used for the plastic part of sidings?
What part exactly are you talking about? I'm confused.
Was this gloss black or flat black Dupli colour?
Flat
Hey man is it dangerous if I left the panels out for a couple hours then put it back in the car the same day I spray painted them ?
I had also used a Rust-Oleum primer spray paint before I used the dupli•color vinyl & fabric spray paint
No, that's not dangerous but I think the paint is still fragile so it's still easy to get scrtached off when you put it in.

I only had these parts in my car for like 5 months because it was only a temporary thing. I had all parts replaced with all black panels.
The parts does get scuffed up white easily and can be rubbed away with water. It's kind of like scratching your skin with your fingernail; the skin scuffs up white but when you wipe with water it goes away.
lol bro went from 30 minutes to dry to the touch to an hour to cure to a whole week... better safe then sorry tho I feel it
