Vinyl paint chipping off

['96_Talon_TSi]

This is for those of you that have painted interiors, and have painted the vinyl.

The paint on the top of my driverside door (by the window) is starting to chip and peel off. When i painted them, i just cleaned them with rubbing alcohol, and put A LOT of thin coats on. Anyone know how to prevent this chipping? I clear coated my dash when i did it, and it hasn't peeled or anything yet. Did any of you guys use primer underneath, and clear coat on top, and has this prevented any peeling or chipping on vinyl parts? Yes, i did use vinyl paint, I used the dupli-color cloth and vinyl paint, and followed the instructions on the can.

ANy help?

Did you scuff up your parts first

not the vinyl, no i didn't scuff it. SHould i redo it with some fine sandpaper.. like 1500 or 800 or so?

at my bodyshop we use 3M scuffpads. They're kinda like the green side of a sponge. A fine sandpaper should work also. Something like 800 or finer shouldn't show scratches.

Awesome. So i should just kinda scuff it up with 1500, and repaint it...

Looks like i'll be driving aorund with absolutely NO interior panels sexy!


thanks for the help.
