I want to paint my interior. Cockpit, Driver and passenger control panels. I Would also like the name of the paint, and the Manufactuar. Also the quantity that I need to get the job done. I need it to match my head unit.

Just wondering something here. If your head unit has to match your interior wouldnt it have just been easier to get one that matched already than to change the interior to match it?

I thought someone else would have chimed in by now, basically you need to clean the parts really good with some rubbing alcohol lets say, scuff them lightly with some fine scotchbrite pads, then depending on the paint your using, I would prime and paint according to the instructions on the can.



I know rustoleom now sells some special plactic paint. SEM sells it as well, VHT, etc..

Clean the parts you want to paint really good, maybe clean them with rubbing alcohol to get rid of oils. Go to Wal-Mart to the car section and buy some auto-body paint. The stuff is called dupli-color auto spray. Very durable paint with many colors to choose from.
