Personally, everyone says you have to prime and stuff. But I painted the whole (pic) interior of my car, with krylon for plastics (bought anywhere) and as long as you clean the surface of all the dust and dirt, you only have to paint.
READ! the back of the can, and do exactly as it says, and TIME everything! to exactly what the can says and it will turn out like mine  QUOTE (Dangercart1 @ Mar 2, 2010 - 2:34 PM)  Im trying to paint the plastic part that goes around the radio and climate box, any suggestions on types of paint?

Yea, it'll look like your does. Doesn't mean the paint will stick for the longevity of the paint.
Primer is to create a surface for the paint to adhere to. You can do it cheaply, or you can do it right....simplicity has its costs. |

Mines been done for over a year, and it still has the same color and everything.
As long as you dont treat your celi like a all terrain truck the paint will not chip or fade. just how mine is and has been. QUOTE (rave2n @ Mar 5, 2010 - 6:32 PM) Yea, it'll look like your does.
