Spray dyed plastic panels, how well does it hold up?
« on: October 07, 2012, 09:23:27 PM »
Has anyone used the good automotive plastic paint that you apply with a spray gun? If so, how is it holding up to daily use & the sun cooking it?
 
Eventually I plan to change my wagon interior to red & I'm thinking spraying the plastic may be easier than finding all the red plastic.

I dyed a couple small items in my Saleen using SEM paint and so far two years and no issues.  I used all the prep and adhesion sprays they recommend.

 Thats what I used on my kick panels theyre still pretty red and nice except for a few smudge marks from someones shoes. But no paint peeled even from that just some marks on them.

I'm happy to hear that paint holds up well. I had some sprayed parts that were peeling already when I bought my '73 but thats probably due to crappy prep & cheap Wal Mart paint.
 
I have plenty of time before I get that far on this car so I'm sure I'll have some red plastic by then but I'll give spray a shot for the pieces I can't round up.
