Painting interior panels is not too much different from painting flexible exterior panels like bumper covers. You need to use the proper materials, and surface prep is super important, especially because vinyl dressings like Armor All might have been used...and they have to be carefully removed or the paint will never stick or cure properly.

Here's a nice "how to" from a site that features "Brand F" cars, so be prepared to see photos of various Brand F cars. Click the link for the article.....

Anytime capp, hope it helps you out.

 

depending on what color he wants, that Krylon "fusion" paint is supposed to be specifically for paint plastic parts. Only requires a little prep work.

 

Krylon Fusion works great. but as stated, you gotta go through the process to get the waxes and treatments out of interior panels. ArmorAll really is evil.
