DarkStar · 06-11-2006, 06:08 PM

Ok so i was down at advance auto today, and i found some Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric paint.
(its a spray paint..)

I was wondering if any of you guys have used it, or something like it.

Thanks alot

I think the poop sucks and I wouldn't reccommend it to my worst enemy. Save your money and do it right, glass it or re-vinyl it.

ok glass it would be great but alot of time and money same with recovering it i have use the paint and it works great nothing has rubed off or nething

If you got to a paint suply store you can get vinyl resin paint which is actually ment to stick to the vinyl. Its a little pricy and you have to apply it with a paint gun but its what i used and it worked well, lasted about 2 1/2 years before it started to peel off and that was only in the high were areas that were plastic, i can't even scratch it off the vinyl if i wanted to.

Well i went ahead and used the stuff.. and i got to say i think it came out really good, it went on nice, and it stays on.

I'll get some pics up later if anyone is interested.

What about these dash covers I've seen on some sites... are those any good?

blackdog · 06-18-2006, 05:09 PM

I am going on the first year of having done this and I am SO sorry I did it. Took about 40 cans of paint and after sitting in the sun over a summer it started to chip and fade really bad to the point where I would have to redo it or just replace the vinyl. I am now installing new vinyl in the car so it looks clean and will last the life of the car and give me the look I am going for. The other option is to use a dye not a paint a dye. You have to be very careful when buying the dyes because 90% of the time they are paints of some sort. If you want pics of my dash, doors, and panels PM me and I will email them to you. After you see them you will change your mind about paint

Oh and a famous line, you get what you pay for!

blackdog · 06-29-2006, 08:15 AM

I did a whole 4 door car panels and everything and yah it looks great when its done but just does not last. Nothing beats the real thing hands down. I will post a few pics when its done next week.

cavaliers60 · 06-30-2006, 12:46 AM

well see, the thing is, I don't have the money to do it the better way, so I will just have to buy the cheaper paint and deal with it...

DarkStar · 07-01-2006, 12:40 AM

well it took a while but..

Its a little dusty but thats pretty much my interior..
Still got a little more to do on it.. (the blue painting tape on the vent...)

pimpalero2003 · 07-01-2006, 09:45 AM

y do u have 4 inch speakers sitting on ur seat and also if u turn ur subs around theyl sound better

DarkStar · 07-01-2006, 12:28 PM

i have those speakers there because they add voice, my subs tend to drown out any actual sound.

Also if i have my subs facing the trunk.. the trunk rattles like crazy.
