SEM products make interior paints for plastics, as well as plastic prep supplies/primers

on the door panels i had problems with cracking and flaking on the plastic parts. i dont know why. i prepped all the panels thoroughly. it could be a problem with the Duplicolor. however on all vinyl parts the paint stuck really well.

steering wheel will also crack and flake because it is leather. Vinyl paint does NOT stick to leather at all.

the dash worked out perfectly though. no issues.
