I want to paint this yellow to match the rest of my interior...

2 Questions

How do I get it off

And what kind of paint/process do i use?

 

what part do you want to paint?? the hard plastic??

 

That's vinyl. and it's plastic welded to the door panel.


I'd take it off though never attempted it myself. Use vinyl interior spray paint. prep! prep! prep! is key!

 

Yea the vinyl is what im after... so it wont pop out? I may just tape it off???

and what should I do to prep... dand...adhesion promoter??

 

Vinyl dye should work for that

 

i would clean it up real good with some alcohol or something similar, spray it with an adhesive promotor and use sem color coat paint, it can be used on any kind of serface, you can get it in an aerosol can or shoot it through a paint gun, if you shoot it through a gun i would add more flexing agent so it will hold up better with out cracking. you can get all this stuff at your local automotive paint dealer, ask them they might recommend something better

 

All you have to do is when you take off the whole door panel, turn it around. Youll see some melted white studs sticking through. Take a small pair of side cuts and cut the melted part off and eventually youll get the panel off. I cleaned it up really good and sprayed it with Duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint.

 

Oh, and to get the panel back on I used some small screws and like 1 inch wide washers and screwed into where the studs were sticking through for a nice solid mount.

 

cool that looks really good man... i dont know that ill be up for that right now bfut i love the way the red is colored all across the interior...

 

I have bright *** yellow all on my interior............on my old school chevy. It's pimp. DO IT!

 

sullys ranger, your interior looks really good, I like it with the vinyl painted

 

I want to I just fear not being able to get it back on orrr breaking something haha

 

Thanx Rob, I like it too! JaxRanger, I was petrified to do it too, but I just said screw it and went for it. Im always nervous about doing a mod, but the outcome is well sorth it!

 

Eventually you lose that nervousness, atleast I sure did, but usually when i'm modding its not painting, its more like, hmmm that motor needs to be out of there...
