Can you paint plastic interior trim panels?

I've tried in vain to remove stains or discoloration in the panels but no luck. It looks like UV damage cause it only occurs in parts that are dirctly under the sun.

What paint can I use that won't easily scratch off?

vinyl paint i think. ask mo sa paint shop they know what to mix.

ito ba yung mga panels tulad ng nasa aircon or sa may center controls? kung yes, pwede pong ipapintura. aks mo nalang sa local paint shop mo tulad ng sinabi ni afrasay.

meleagant8...

how did u paint ur interior? dapat after each coat, ipapa-dry mo muna. then sand it with wet 2000 grit sandpaper. then apply the next coat... mga 3-5 coats dapat. at dapat manipis lang ang spray sa bawat coat.

**meleagant8** · June 24th, 2003 12:56 PM

ah...di ko ginawa un...

spray lang...tapos patuyo konti spray ulit...mga 2 coats lang ata un...

so ok lang kung pylox ang gagamitn ko pra sa interior ko?or meron tlgang interior paint para sa mga kotse?

so gagawin ko, first coat tapos sand with wet sandpaper then next coat?

tska ano maganda pangtanggal ng paint sa mga platic trim panels ng car?kasi medyo may mga lumalagpas na paint na sagwa tignan eh...

FOLIATEC na interior spray... 600+ ang isa. meron din sila primer spray. I didn't use this kasi mahal.

yung sandpaper mo dapat high-grit... mga 2000. u can find these at Hans Tools sa Shangri-La mall.

i forgot to mention, dapat pala i-sand mo muna yung i-pe-paint mo. sand it with mga 800 grit na sandpaper bago mo i-paint. tapos after each coat of paint, let it dry ng mga 10-20 mins... then sand it with a wet, 2000grit sandpaper. make 3-5 coats depending on what you think is alright.

lumagpas na paint??? di mo tinanggal muna yung trim panels mo bago mo pininturahan? oh, no! u should have removed it first. ako nga, eh. di ko pa ma-paint yung center trim kasi di ko matanggal sa dashboard, eh.

i think thinner will do the trick. careful ka lang... and be prepared to have a weird smelling car. bili ka ionizer para mawala yung smell afterwards...
