What kind of paint do you reccomend?, For Interior Painting Options

[Dez]

If I wanted that proffesional look would I simply use spray paint or some other type?

OK - I am in the process of painting my interior.

You must be careful here because there are two types of interior material:
1. The supple leather look/type material found on the dash top, upper part of the door, ...
2. The hard plastic material found on the lower part of the door, the panels around the inside of the boot, ...

Each type of material above requires a special type of paint.
(Your local custom tuning shop should be able to help you here).

I'm painting the hard plastic.
To do this I must prime each part first.
(This is to ensure that the paint sticks correctly, is durable and does not pick off).
So I'm using a primer first and then paint.
The mark I am using is called Foliatec.

What I have found is:
- 2/3 coats of primer is ample to ensure a complete coverage;
- I need more paint than original expected (even using red over the black plastic you'll need approximately 3/4 coats to ensure a complete and uniform coverage.

When I'm finished (I'm about half way through) if I can, I'll post some pics.
