JohnnyD Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm working on an interior refurbishment (Projects>1981 F150 "Old Blue" needs a new interior), and was unable to get the door panels, sliders, and dash in the original powder blue. I think, because I'm lazy and also operating on "better is the enemy of good enough", I'll leave the new parts in black, the way I received them. (How's that for a run-on sentence!?) I figure that any blue paint I buy will not match the existing blue parts that will be reused, so black parts mean I don't have to repaint everything. However, the original LH door slider bezel (blue) and replacement LH slider (tan) don't match the new black parts, so I need to paint them. Is a rattle can of vinyl paint from NAPA sufficient? What about prep? Do they need a top coat of clear UV protectant? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I like SEM brand vinyl paints. Others may have good results with other paints however. But, the key to painting plastic or vinyl is prep. Check out the SEM line and what their recommended prep is. It is pretty detailed, but gives good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
