I'm want to do a basic black pint job in the interior, maybe some silver or body color accents, haven't decided. I tried spraying the console, and the paint isn't flaking, but it IS rubbing off. Found some marks on my pant leg and I don't appreciate it. Am I doing something wrong? I scuff sanded the plastic, then washed it with soap and water, let it dry completely, then primed it and painted it. The scuff marks show through so I'm starting over. Can I use filler primer to smooth things up a bit or will that work? And when I buffed the clear coat it came right off too. I've painted motorcycles, never had this problem. Obviously metal and plastic need different treatment. Help me out here.

Try sanding the texture off priming, lots of base, lots of clear. Use a hand applied glaze t
For the bezel, vents, console, etc, you'll have to sand like crazy if you want it to look smooth. Usually with a grit like 60-80 to get the design out, then use a higher grit like 150-200 to smooth it out, primer & paint. Wetsand, etc. There are a couple ways you could do it. However, with the dash, you'll have to take off the vinyl coating first. Thats why the paint is rubbing off probably. Also, once you paint, clear, etc. You'll want it to dry atleast 24 hours before seriously handling it.

Thanks for the tips, guys. I'm wondering, if I want more of a satin finish, not glossy, is there a particular paint that works best that I don't need to clear coat? And I'm not doing the dash pad with paint (there was mention of that). I'm going to stretch microfiber over that, and use the vinyl as padding underneath for a nice feel and something to make the microfiber stick, since it looks and feels like suede, but a fraction of the cost. And it's more workable. And it will match my steering wheel and door inserts when I get it done. The seats I will either recover them in microfiber or maybe shell out the money for some Brides or something in suede. I dunno. I want to keep it looking somewhat stock. Like it's meant to be there. This is my daily driver and my DSM is so crazy being gutted and caged, I want something comfy.

On the hard plastic? That can't be right. Or do you mean like on the top half of the doors? Those seem to be a softer material than the rest of the door.
