I will think about it. I wish you could see mine in person first though. Mine looks fine, IMO. But it is a little rougher than factory. Plus, all rear interior was removed. So plastics that have been painted dont get touched and rubbed a lot. That way they wont chip. One plastic peice that you cant keep from chipping is the floor door trim beside the seats. They just get stepped on and kicked so much they chip. This is only my second interrior to tear into. And really the first to do this well.

Im painting all of my interior panels.. pm for pics if you want.

for soft vinyl (dash pad, door panels, headliner, armrests, ect) use Duplicolour vinyl paint

for hard vinyl/plastic( dash, center console, ect),use Krylon Fusion or Duplicolour truck van and suv paint

you dont have to sand the peices (unless there are scratches you want to remove.. or you want a smooth finish) , just wash them in soap/water then use an alcohol rubbing compound.

takes alot of work but its well worth it!!

Mirak Scuff Pads
SEM Landau Black Paint
DuPont AnitStatic Wipes


1) Light Scuff
2) Wipe
3) Spray

I did about 2-3 light coats and one coat pretty heavy. Everything came out pretty well.

I didnt sand everything eather. Just a thing here and there. If clean. With primer it will stick quite well. Light scuffing may or may not help. So some say to do it, because it may help.
