I was picking up more paint for my interior when I saw some paint that was specifically intended for vinyl. I was just wondering if anyone has tried this before. I'm testing it out on the extra armrest that I took off a long time ago. It came out really good, but i'm going to give it a week or so to see if it starts peeling or cracking. I will keep you guys posted.

I actually painted some of my inserts with vinyl paint. Works more or less the same as regular ol' paint.
i know a guy who painted his whole interior w/ that...at least the dash parts n all
turned out real nice, all amost a year and i didn't see any cracks

Well the armrest held up so I went ahead and started on the first door(pic in profile). I don't have much free time, but I'll at least finish the first door this weekend and keep you posted on how it turns out.
I once used the vinyl paint/dye spray to turn some seats and door panels from gold to black. worked pretty well, but THOROUGHLY clean the vinyl 1st, remove all traces of Armorall or other conditioners...MAR-HYDE was the brand...
Yea dude it definetly's possible. Check out my profile. I've told how I did mine on past forum posts. So check it out if you need to dude. >

Well I'm back to work on the doors but it's proving to be much more difficult than I originally expected. There was no way I could bend tape over certain areas of the center piece to get nice even coats of paint, so I just painted it without tape and now i'm in the process of painting over those areas in white. I posted some pics in my profile of what my door used to look like before this project and where I'm at right now. I know it looks kind of bad, but hopefully I'll get a little more respect when I post pics of the finished product....back to work
Flipside you still powdercoating stuff? I may have a couple pieces for ya...
Anyone know if they sell a vinyl paint thinner? Or if regular paint thinner will work? I wanna get the yellow off my seats w/o damaging them.

Yep I still do powder-coating. What are you looking to get done? We do straight colors, candy's, and all sorts of stuff.
I don't think paint thinner will harm your vinyl but don't go with anything stronger. That's an awfully messy way of stripping the paint and it's gonna take some major scrubbing. I dunno man, try it out on something else first just to be safe.

I was thinking about exhaust manifold heatshield, i guess u could call it and valve cover.
IDK what other way to get the color off, not much of an interior person. Ideas are more than welcome.

Can anyone tell me which stores would carry paint for vinyl. I've looked around several places and cant find any. Thanx.
autozone carries around here and some times advanced auto parts and pepboys.

Look in the phonebook for paint supply stores. And not stores that carry house paints, but automotive paints like dupont, ect. That's where I got my stuff and it's been great because the salespeople actually know something about paint.
