Default Anyone use SEM on interior pieces?

Has anyone of you guys ever used SEM on your interior plastic pieces? I was thinking about doing this I just don't know how difficult it is and how well it works. Anyone have any pictures of any pieces finnished with SEM?

I have not but I have dyed some parts with DuPont it is not a good Idea if the parts is in a high traffic area or high use area. with the DuPont I used a good plastic cleaner and then sprayed it with a adhesion promoter to help it stick this was on a dash in a fox been 3 years now and all is well. the prep is the key thing here cuz when it starts coming off it looks like crap and is even harder to fix the 2nd time.

I used it on interior pieces in my Wrangler and was very pleased with the results. Just traded the Jeep so I dont have pics for you.

Here are a few...They both need another coat, but the door and the rear interior was maroon before and it turned out great I think..

sem works great, but the most important thing is prep. you need to wash with dawn then use wax and degreaser before you ever scuff up the surface. if you dont you will sand containment's into the panel. stuff like armor all etc will mess up the job
