Hey guys, what type/brand of paint would you recommend to use that won't run or fade? Is there any techniques to know for preping the dash or center console shroud before the paint is applied? Share your knowledge!

 

make sure u clean the area u want to be painted, bc of the oils and dirts

 

SEM vinyl/fabric paint. Use a 3M or SEM adhesion promoter before painting.

 

Exactly what he said!

 

Where would be the one stop shop to get said materials???

 

ebay u can ususally buy a case or there website...

 

ebay, pepboys, autozone, and a hand full of other auto parts stores..btw, where in TX are you?

 

there's no such thing as run-proof paint. if you don't do it right..or should i say...if u over do it, any and all paint will run.

the key is multiple light and even coats sprayed at an angle.


my dash is painted SEM landau black, and everyone who sees it, swears that it was not painted.

 

can you guys post some pics? im interested in doin this also.

 

Here are some pics of my car after using SEM dye for all the black pieces. Came out great and this was done last year and still looking as good as the day I had it done. It's all in the prep work as well as putting light, even coats and you will be set.

 

^i think i saw your car at the recent Lollicup meet..

 

I know I saw your car at the lollicup meet. I saw your SC and was waiting for you to get back to your car and then next thing I know I think you left Haha....when are you going to come out to the wednesday night meets for ClubLexus over at UCF? I've been waiting for you to come out over there.

 

Funny thing is, i found that meet purely by accident.

I just went to Lollicup to get a slush....and then all of a sudden i see all these dope cars. I was like WTF?! OH HELLZ YEAH! so i stuck a round for a while to see the goods.

and about the UCF meet.. i wasen't even aware of it.

Maybe i'll come through when my car gets repainted and is somewhat presentable. Cause right now my SC is looking cuh-razy with mismatched wheels and needing some TLC.

PM me some more info about the meet/time and stay in touch cause i dont know any other SC owners in the orlando area..

 

SEM is the only way to go. I have used on my seats, steering wheel and jsut about everthing inside, but the dash. So no pictures.

 

SEM its is, it is possible to paint the door panels and the ugly grey window trim correct?
