I was just wodering if there was a certain kind of paint made for painting some plastic peices on my dash and doors. If so can someone let me know, and if there isnt a certain paint does anyone know what i could use instead?

thanks
 
go to wal mart. they have spray called "duplicolor" you could also get "plasti kote" they work the same... sand with finiest grit possible spray lightly with several coats... use clear too and i suggest not painting the whole interior like i did for the paint can easily be scratched off my falling objects, etc. and you will be re-doing it often.
 
If you are just doing plastic pieces you can get spray cans of exterior car paint at most general part shops. Definitly sand down the pieces smooth as possible, it is a slow pain in the @$$ but the end result will be a gloosy smooth finish that will look alot better than the original texture (unless that is what you are going for). Use a coat of primer it will help prevent the paint from bubbling and peeling. Do 2 to 3 coats of your color choice but becarful not to touch between coats, the oils on your skin act like wax does to rain on a car and you paint job will screw up and you will have to sand it all of (trust me not a fun thing). If you finish with a clear laquer then let it dry for a good 48 hours you will find that it is a nice glossy finish that is suprisingly scratch resistant. Your other choice is to just take the pieces to a paint shop and have them do it if you feel like spending the money. Good luck
