Hey guys i got some questions, i found out that they sell my car color in spray paint at the dealership and i was thinking about painting some of my interior parts instead of taking it to body shop. I was wondering do i just clean pieces and spray paint or is there a specail primer i should use please let me know, i tryed painted somethign and it was as if the paint wasnt sticking i guess it needs like a primer Right?

thanx

I know it's not an Accord, but...

I painted the interior of my Maxima with Krylon Metallic Silver. I also used some white primer under it, and some clear gloss over it.

But guys is there any special BRAND primer u use? and where do u get it?the color i am painting is the same orange that my car is so what color primer shold i use? and what kinda clear coat?

Oh ya i painted the thing on the glove box door the thing to OPEN the door and i noticed that on some parts the color came out perfect and oin some parts it doiesnt look good do i just need to spray clear coat over it to make it all look shiny? becuase when i run it under water iit looks perfect but when i take it out it dries up and doesnt look so good in some spots.

thanks nauticav6,

i used the duplicolor spray "gunmetal" with three top coats of clear over it.

i used a white primer. IMO anything on top of white comes out usually as it was intended.

Maybe you can try that new Krylon paint...that doesnt require you to use any primer. You've probably seen the commercial...its a new Krylon spray that actually bonds to plastic.

The thing is Chrysler sells my car color in SPRAY PAINT so that is the kinda spray paint i am using, now i just need to buy PRIMER and CLEAR Coat, do u guys have any prefrences? i am also planning to paint around the thing by the speedometer i forget what its called the factory color is BLACK on the plastic pieceits the thing before the clear glass seperating the speedometer. And if all goes well i will try to paint PILLERS next.

Yeah man you might want to use sandpaper then put primer on then two coats of whatever color paint ur using. Also u might want to get paint that drys very quickly so u can get it done quicker.:cool:

hey viper..that looks good. Did you pay someone to do that? or did you do it yourself?

The only problem i have is...not knowing which color to paint it..since i have TAN INTERIOR!...any suggestions?

Question about painting interior.

The drivers side door has some imperfections and was debating on just painting parts of it for a new look. This is a 1991 accord with cloth (but I have removed the cloth from the door).

Do I have to sand the door down then paint/clearcoat? Also, I think the door is plastic or vynl? Not entirely sure about the older accords, but which paint brand should be used? Is high heat paint needed?

Thanks :)
