Title: Painting or dying interior panels
Post by: wanderlustin on July 10, 2023, 01:20:27 PM
Hello everyone.  I'd like to dye my white repop interior panels but don't want to use spray cans.  Is it as simple as taking an original panel to my local paint shop for matching and  to have some made up for use with an HVLP sprayer?

Suppose it could be, if the paint shop can provide paint that is suitable for the "plastic" panels.  Otherwise you can't go wrong with SEM Color Coat paint, it comes in spray cans and for guns.  Just follow the prep to the letter.

I agree about SEM products, But any auto parts store that mixes paint can mix vinyl paint. Then you can spray it in a paint gun or they can package it in a spray can.   :alan2cents:

I've used SEM spray cans many times with full success.

If you are doing the Mopar white interiors this stuff matches very well.

Another vote for SEM.
As mentioned, follow their simple multi-step cleaning / prep process and you will be successful.
Quality stuff.
