RE: painting interior - 1/18/2005 12:10:31 AM    customizedrides   Posts: 102 Joined: 1/16/2005 Status: offline The best way to paint vinyl is to go to an auto paint shop and ask them for a vinyl coat to help paint stick. This is basically a clear coat layer that you spray over the dash, let dry, and then paint. You can still do a clear coat over it afterwards if you want too. This stuff will make the paint last a lifetime longer than just going straight over the vinyl. Pimpin ain't easy, but it sure looks good. Have fun. (in reply to 1398spdr) Post #: 3
