Painting the plastic

[moboman]

At first I was a little hesitant, but I like how it has come out so far.

Originally I had the blue interior. The doghouse is black, and the floor is black vinyl.

I used Rustoleum plastic Toupe colored paint.

Blue colored dash:


After:










I planned on keeping the vents the stock color:



Door Panel painting:




I'm hoping to get the passenger side door panel back on tomorrow, I will post some pictures up then.

Looks very good I painted all the plastic in my cargo black all I have left is the dash....

I didnt get around to reinstalling the passenger door panel, but I want to get it done soon. It was 15 degrees F today, so I didnt do much outside. What a waste of a sunday.

It was 50's last week to saturday here then went cold again. This morning, -2* with the windchill.

Haha! Just wait until summer Mr Rev Trybe!

Love the whole painting plastic idea. Is that that Fusion paint I see in the stores? Haven't used it yet.

[moboman]

That is rustoleom plastic paint. I used Valspar plastic on my grille. I've never used krylon's fusion either. I have used a couple other brands plastic paint. I cant tell which is best, but it seems my grille is holding up really well. Its seen rain, snow, salt, bird poop, etc. and its still on there.

I read an article and they tested several plastic paints and Crustoleum ( ) was number one on the list for durability in all climated, and in the stress test....

I've heard a lot about SEM products too. I havent used any SEM in a while, but I know it has held up pretty well.

My rain is much better than yours! lol

Actually it doesn't rain in Portland, Oregon. We just have "Transformed" sun. Some of us call it "Born Again" sun.

I'm so jealous Mr Rev Trybe! The humidity has been terribly bad here this winter. My arthritis has been really bad. Usually it's a dry winter season & I feel great.

You sound like your about 90 years old .

A Mr. T smiley. NO WAY!!!!

[dumb lady]

Thanks Mr mobo.
My body feels like it's 90 sometimes. I've had arthritis since before I turned 30.
I'm 47 & my kids have more mental sense than I do. What do they know!

Do you have a link to this test?

I have used Colorbond in the past and it holds up pretty well.

I've heard a lot about SEM products too. I havent used any SEM in a while, but I know it has held up pretty well.

I wouldn't use SEM unless there was no other alternative.
