as long as you clean it up really good you should be fine. ive had mine for a long time and its still looking good

 

Ok, coming from me who does interior dye work every day, you will atleast want to sand it down. Painting over those cracked areas, it won't cover well and you'll see the imperfections. You should be good to go by just sanding it. I would use like 800 sandpaper. The primer you use will kinda make or break it. That's what gives the dye something to adhere to, it's the base. I can't give any recomendations, the base and top coats I use are specific to my company, not available to the public.

Hey Britt21, it's an extremely simple process. As long as you remove each trim piece, so you don't get overspray on anything else, properly clean the pieces before paint, you'll be fine. Be sure to clean the pieces though, if you don't, the paint might not adhere because of the oils on the trim pieces, then it'll be screwed up.

 

If I sand it down when will I know when I will be able to paint?

 

just sand it down and wash off all the dust particles and then spray ur primer and it should say how long to wait for another coat, then it should say how long it takes to dry, then the paint should b the same, as with clear

 

For painting those trim pieces you should clean them off with rubbing alcohol, I'm pretty sure that's what they suggest using. You won't need to sand much, but you might need to do more because you said it's cracking. Just sand until it feels smooth and even, and until there's no more cracks. The plastic trim pieces don't have much of a grain, they are only slightly textured, so don't worry about it being too smooth.

 

that is exactly what I would like to do with my 'stang...what type of paint did you use? My issue is that I have the electric green.

I have seen several painted interiors and too often I think they get carried away, but to me, that is just right.

thanks for posting pictures

cheers

 

i sand blaster all my interior pieces in a bead blaster and they came out perfect didnt have to prime,used engine paint though cause the fusion paint i had before got darker as the sun hit it.If anyones interested if you want to send me your interior pieces i can bead blast them and send them back..just incase you dont feel like sanding.

 

I dunno to each his own. But, consider.... Where did all this interior paint and color come from ?
