Default Re: interior paint/dye question

Ppg has a specialty coatings brand that can be matched. I have had some great success with it on my dash and plastic parts. Most of the SEM products didn't even come close. Most vinyl and plastic products can be wiped with a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water. The plastics have to be wiped as well but an adhesion promoter needs to be applied before paint. A product such as bull dog works great!

----Light interior GM cars generally have a darker dash-pad. Thats to alleviate some of the glare inherent with light colors when the sun hits them. Back when I was 15 my buddie and I rattle-canned the dash on his 57 Ford white. Geez,,,What a mistake. Also reversed thew shackles so we would look CQQL, and added lakes-pipes that ended under the rear axle. We didnt know the floor was bad back there and almost gassed ourselves......Bill S
