i have read many posts about painting interior and i have dont it in the past, but I am thinking about either putting vinyl on the door pannel or painting it. well my question is, since it is going to be on the door and it could take some abuse, what can I do to make it stronger and not chip so easily? or should i just vinyl it
vinyl it .....
"c'mon pookie we gonna burn this mother fncker down"
you really shouldn't paint soft surfaces....dye it.
dang, i guess i confused everyone, I am talkn about the whole door pannel, not just the arm inserts, I can paint and I can use vinyl good, I just want to kno what you guys think will look better,
oh, i thought you were saying you were gonna paint the vinyl parts.
the door panel itself is plastic, you can sand it smooth and paint it no problem. use a plastic adhesion promotor, and it'll stick no problem.
also use a good quality urethane paint, lay down some clear and you'll be good to go for a LONG time, it'll last as long as your car's paintjob.
Thought about dying it? I dyed my interior and it still is holding up perfect.

you know you all say to start out with 120 to sand smooth..... THAT TAKES FOREVER! if I was to use 120 to take the grain out of my plastic and make it smooth I think I would be as big as arnold lol. I prefer 80 120 200 then prime and 300 wet and price again...... Thats my preference...
^^i actually start with about 36...and work up to 80. prime, then sand up to 400. then paint. and use a d/a!!!!
they make wipes that prepares the surface for painting
