Before this , I painted my interior Silver with clearcoat. IT worked out fine and it did not scratch easily.
This time around, I am painting it back to matt black. I have gone ahead and done it , 400grit ->600grit -> 3 coats Duplicolor Adhesion promoter(primer) -> 3-4coats VHT Enamel interior/exterior paint. ![]() I have left it overnight(12hours~) and it seems that the paint scratches off easily. I do not remember it being that easy last time. Was it the clearcoat that helped? This time around I am going for Matt Black therefore a clearcoat is out of the question.. Should I spray more layers today and let it dry again? This post has been edited by soven: Nov 21, 2005 - 4:08 PM |

yank and pull out the passenger air vent. you will most probably break off the two botttom plastic but it will fit right back in due to the metal clips on top.
Finally found the paint that gives me the result i want, Duplicolor vinyl and fabric works a treat and looks very factory. |
