camino_1to3 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Ok so I'm trying to spray paint some of the interior parts I pulled out of my car the former owners spray painted and it looked super gay so i'm taking it back to the original color. The parts consist of things like the ashtray, door handle plates, e-brake boot, speaker covers, etc. No matter how little I spray and how far away, or how long I wait to recoat, the S#@$ keeps rippling up. None of the parts are wet and I know I havn't been applying too much paint. Anyone know what's going on?

AI James Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 did you make sure to use acetone on them before painting them to get any oils of anything off of them? Quote
camino_1to3 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Posted January 24, 2009 did you make sure to use acetone on them before painting them to get any oils of anything off of them? No I didn't. What should I do then? Sand the paint off then apply acetone and re-paint?

AI James Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) you need to make sure the surface is totally clean , and oils on it your never get a good paint coat on it, being that its interior pieces theres alot of stuff your eyes cant see that builds up in the plastic. or other materials. so yes i would recommend sanding cleaning with soap and water then acetone, and also think about using an adhesion promotor Edited January 24, 2009 by James Quote

camino_1to3 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Posted January 24, 2009 Well i use .99cent bottle of rubbing alcohol lol and never had a problem I've been goin hard at it for about an hour and got to see the three paint jobs that've been done on these things before my ownership! WTF! Anyway I've got most of the paint off with acetone, rags, and sanding. I ran out of acetone though. lol. What's the best way to go by re-painting plastic though?
