Well, I am in the process of making my whole interior black with misc white things. As you can see in my gallery. I just finished the doors. I used krylon fusion black on the door panels, regular white gloss paint on the speaker cover, Fabric white paint on where the handle piece goes inside. Then I bought white fabric and re-wrapped my fabric peices in white, Also did the carpet in black.

They look so much better imo. But in the pic, The sun from my window hit the black which made the black look messed up? In person it looks great. Just thought i'd let everyone see :cool: :)

BEFORE
 
are your doors vinyl? I painted my armrest in my Talon Black and it's still sticky, it wont seem to cure.
 
I painted my center console armrest thing black with 99cent paint.. It was really sticky but then the next night it got better and finally dried. What paint did you use? Krylon fusion is really great, You dont hafto sand or primer you just spray it on.
 
I used Fusion, but I also used clearcoat, maybe thats why it's still sticky....
 
what type of clear coat did you use? depending on which kind you might need to heat the area that it is drying in to about 70 degrees to have the proper chemical reaction. hope this helps with the sticky paint problem

door panels painted two weeks ago, still sticky, no clear coat, and no humidity in the air, pisses me off. gotta strip em down and repaint em with engine paint I guess, or try to primer em first
 
Well heres some info that I forgot to tell you. depending on your clear coat you might have to spray the part before it drys (basecaut that is). my suggestion would be sprya your color let that tack up then spray your clear. the clear may need that base coat to be wet for it to harden.

always do a test peice before the whole thing. if thats not the case prime the part then paint/clear.

hope this helps
