Hey guys, I have been wanting to paint the plastic pieces of my car. I got the door pieces by the door handle and unlock switch painted gloos black and now i want to paint the lower half (woodgrain and down) of my interior black as well. The only thing I am hesitant about is the glovebox. Is there a special paint to paint that vinyl or should I dye it or should I just cover it in black vinyl?? what do you guys think.

Kumar (starboy2nv) sanded that soft perforated stuff down, and used body filler (bondo or something similar) sanded that smooth, then painted on top of that, that's what I'm doin, fawker stole my idea

You should ask Kumar for steps and for some pics.

to be honest i think thats a waste, our interiors look really nice, why would u want to go out and make it look like a Civic.

the way i painted the interior...

1. Plastic adhesive
2. filler primer
3. sand
4. filler primer (repeat step 3 &4)
5. automotive primer
6. automotive paint

well here's the thing, when I first got my car it had scratches on the plastic piece were the cd player is and it has more scratces around that plastic piece on the center console part. So what I want to do is either paint it a charcoal gray or gloss black. And I had my friends dad paint my door pieces. I just sandblasted them and than he primed and painted it.

u got pics?

if i do paint it, its going to be black to match my interior

How would/dose the black interior look with the charcoal leather seats?

And how much would it be to re-due the seats and new carpeting?

Bigpimpin18

I'd only paint the lower part of the dash and center console black, and I want to change to black leather seats, so if anyone has any they want to sell, I just got my tax return yesterday and I'll pay you for them!

I have a spare glovebox that I could sell if you want to paint it

Bigpimpin18

well I do have black vinyl in my garage and I think I'll just recover it in some vinyl and paint the handle and the other pieces!
