    Just because you're only 18 doesn't mean you have grown any common sense.

    But if you really, really, really, really want to do it, vinyl dye in a spray can is the way to go. But beware, the non-black colours don't like sun exposure very much and will fade, leaving you with an uglier mess that before.

    im not dinorider, but from my view is ur pretty much fukd.. lol IF you do paint it over, you will see marks or cracks from previous paint .. maybe uneven surfaces.. If u wanna do it, take it to the pros with warranty on them.. that way if it does get fkd over, u can always go back and get it fixed.. spending, say $1000 at once is better than spending $500 every year for an interior...

    Thats from my view

    That there is a link to how it should be done.
    And yes just head down to your local autobahn etc and ask for viynl dye, most will also do plastic as well. Also get the supplies listed in the above link.
    I'm in the middle of down mine at the moment myself, so if you have any questions feel free to pm if you like.

    Changing interior colour

    This is possible and if done right will both look good and be usable. I'm currently changing the colour of the interior of a DA9 from grey to black. I've done it before on a Hilux ute, changing from pooh brown to black with great success. The key is preparation, taking your time and not overdoing the layers of colour. I can't stress that enough. Personally I don't like spraying the cluster surrounds, door grabs, etc with colour (acrylic or otherwise). As people have suggested, that fad has passed and looks tacky down the track. However, changing trim colours is OK.



    You have to clean the pieces thoroughly. I use Septone Wax & Grease Remover with two clean, lint-free cloths. Clean every corner, in all the grooves, and everywhere that will be visible (don't do behind). Use a cheap paint brush dipped in W&GR to clean vents and grilles. You have to get rid of any wax or Armour-All type finishes.

    Before applying the Septone Vinyl & Plastic colour of choice give the panel one more wipe over to be sure. Apply the colour in a very light coat - the idea is not to cover the piece but to build up a foundation for further layers. I do at least two more layers. Don't get too close and don't overdo it. The colour will build up over the two further coats. If not happy apply another coat (lightly). Allow plenty of drying time between coats - at least 10 minutes on a warm day. Don't rush; if you are an impatient person don't attempt this!

    Allow the pieces you painted to cure overnight. If you attempt to install them and bump them the paint will mark and come away from the panel. If this happens a light sand and recoat can fix it but best to just let it cure. Overnight the new colour will harden into the plastic. Then you can carefully install it.



    Good luck. Done correctly it should 'lift' your interior and make it look like new. It won't cover deep scratches and marks. They will still be there unless you gave them a sand first. A tip here is not to oversand - it will make that area very smooth (compared to the rest of the texture) and the vinyl paint will look smoother in that area.

    Peter, a good step would be to use plastic primer to cover any deep scratches

    Yes, and you can also get a Plastic Filler but I figure if the piece is that badly scratched or damaged, better go get another piece from the wreckers. Small pieces aren't expensive and will give a much more satisfying finish. I figure if you are going to take the time to do this best start with a usable trim.
