How well would this work on an interior plastic part?

Just went to Lowes and bought a can of Plasti Dip. Think I'm gonna paint some trim pieces on my BMW first before I test it on my Mustang.

Looking good Javdog, I like it. Although that billet gas cover could use a cleaning lol.

I'm thinking about picking up a couple cans tonight, one to paint my 5.0 emblems with, and maybe the rear faux cap, and then another to paint cow spots onto my girlfriend's sister's car lol. For some reason she wants it to look like a cow, and I want to shock the hell out of her with some spots. What could be better on a 2002 tan dodge neon?

Decided to do my stock 18" pony rims in plasti-dip for the winter. I like the flat black much more than the polished aluminum.

Funny you should ask that question, that is excatly how I did mine I used the blue painters tape, i cut a strip around 5-6" and slid it between the wheel and tire and continued to do that untill the tires was covered in tape, helpful hint MAKE sure that the tire is free of ANY armorall or any other kind of oil on tire otherwise the tape will NOT stick to the tires, then I coverd the rotors and calipers with some old rags and then I went to town on the wheels I used 2 cans for 4 22" wheels, the first coat is probably the most important because that will be like the undercoat I waited around 10-15 min and did a second coat i did a total of 4 coats. I think they came out pretty good considering this was my first time. you could say I was Plasti-dip Virgin, not anymore, hahaha!!!!!
hope this helps buddy
