- We show you how to paint interior plastic, vinyl, and leather. The center console in our 2003 Shop Truck build was in rough shape, so it's a great testbed for painting the plastic. There are some tips that must be adhered to in order to see great and lasting results. By following a few rules, adding a few hours of labor, and a can or two of Vinyl & Fabric paint, you can make a huge difference in the way your interior looks.

Remember guys always keep that tip clean
I told her just the tip.
Remember guys hector just had to state the obvious! Lmao this is an unspoken rule literally everyone knows this!!! Hector is slow!! Took hector LOOOOONG time to figure this out!! Hector is special! Hector like Jane!!
Giggity
And if the tip does ever get dry make sure to spit on it.
😂 facts
I did the same thing to an 05 Lincoln town car console and it turned out very nice. Duplicolor works very well on plastic.👍
Flat or glossy ?
Thanks for all the tricks and tips. I’ve always wondered how shops always made the job look so nice and easy.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Love the refresh job. As for replacing the black pieces. A little red-neck trick i do is an old shop rag with some automatic trans fluid. It REALLY makes a difference. Just a little bit of oil on the rag. Rub it in. Bam its clean and refreshed
Incredible job. I really like the before and after.
Great job. I have a 96 Chev S-10 that is trashed and this video is really going to help me get it back in shape. Thanks !
Great job. Isn't it amazing when someone shows a little tender love and care for their property. And it didn't break the bank restoring the console either. Anyone can do it. You do not need a degree either.
Thanks for the insightful tips on clean and prep. Good info on cleaning the tip of the spray can nozzle, I’m sure that apply to guns as well. My 97 Dodge Ram dash assembly failed from Florida Heat and poor abs plastic formulation. Not only was the dash top cover cracked and brittle but also the dash sub core assembly. I found a sub core assembly on EBay that was not brittle. So I prepped the backside of the plastic with 2 part epoxy resin and fine weave fiberglass cloth. You clean with acetone and then use an 80 grit abrasive sandpaper to open up the pores of the abs plastic, clean again with acetone, let set to for at least an hour ( it’s warm in S Florida) to allow the acetone to throughly dry, then do a bonding layer of 2 part epoxy. Shortly thereafter ( still tacky) followed by a layer of cloth and more epoxy to saturate the cloth. It was very time consuming, but it should not crack again 🙏🏻 and it feels very sturdy. I am now going to use the Duplicolor factory matched mist gray to color the dash. You can find the interior trim color on the door panel ID sticker. I talked to Duplicolor and unfortunately that trim color was not available in the spray can, but they sent me the formulation and directed me to a Duplicolor paint shop that could mix it. It was expensive, like $54 for a pint. I’m getting ready to paint it this week and appreciate the prep and application tips. Thanks
I really like how this came out. In fact, your instructions were so on point I really like how mine came out. I found that I didn't need the 4th or 5th coat(for my project). After 3 I was impressed. Great vid, thanks for your help!
Did you add any clear coating?
@@Eric-fs3rkyu have to add some type of clear coat
Great job! I did a total interior color change on a gmc Sierra slt years ago. It had an ugly blue interior and I changed it to a beige. I did basically the same thing you did in this video. I took the entire interior out and dismantled everything before I re dyed it. I did outsource the upholstery as I went with new leather for the seats though. It all came out amazing! I loved and had that truck for years until I sold it to help buy a new one.
Did it hold up well?
@Kobe yes it did! I had the truck over 11 years after I did the re-dye color change. One of the cool things about it was I could even use vinyl Protectant on it and it responded exactly like original vinyl! The stuff is amazing! When I did it ,I told myself I didn't want any over spray or anything that would give it away as a cheap re- dye. That's why I did like he did in video. It is a huge pain in the ass as you'll be surprised how many small parts there are. I personally never could find any info on how to take apart or put back together all the interior parts so I just took a lot of pictures and made notes when taking the console ,dash,steering wheel etc etc etc....you get the point. Anyways if you take your time and do multiple thin coats you'll be ok..
Great tutorial - thank you! It’s great to see someone teach the importance of putting on so many light layers because if you don’t, as has already been said, the paint will not stick and eventually it will stay to bubble up and peel. I’m saying this for people who haven’t done this yet and have watched other videos with guys putting on 2-3 heavy coats.
well never let this guy un snap anything from ur dash or console cant believe he didn't break any clips ... need to learn how to take it easy damn
When did he say that if you put it on too heavy that it will bubble and peel? He didn't, he just said that you can't rush this and spray heavy coats and never explained why. That's one of my biggest pet peeves about someone trying to teach other people how to do something properly. Instead of just telling everyone that you can't rush it and not to spray heavy coats he should have explained why you cant, not just that you simply can't.
Thank you sir, very detailed video! I was actually intimidated by taking on this project now I feel way more confident.
Great to hear! Go for it! Remember, clean, clean, clean... Thanks for watching.
Wow. Looks awesome. You did a really good job. And the instructions were spot on
I re-sprayed my truck's vinyl back seat but I used "Rust-Oleum's Fabric and vinyl" and it turned out pretty good. I kept the truck for 2 more years after the re-spray and it didn't rub off nor anything. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to spend hundreds in a dedicated shop.
Thanks for sharing. That's exactly right. A little labor time and you can get very good results. Thanks for watching.
I can confirm Rust-oleum is good paint. I used some to camo paint one of my rifles and I've had that barrel too hot to touch many times since, no fading. Great stuff
Did it by chance leave a spray paint oder in the vehicle after you painted over everything??
Have a similar console with same color to paint so thanks. The regularly clean the time was a duh moment. Definitely will do that.
I’m fixing to try this on a hot rod project over on my channel. I sure hope it works out for me. Thanks for sharing.

Thei brand is really good. On my BMW 7 series I wet sanded the door sills. After washing I added 3 coats of plastic paint adhesive. Did 7 coats. Came out really well. Here in Arizona 1 minute paint was dry.
We ordered and installed new carpet on a 2015 Tahoe it made a huge difference. Yes all the seats and center console have to come out and don’t forget to vacuum the floor since nobody will ever be there again
Loved this video! I’m about to do this swap in my Silverado from a jump seat to the console. The donor console is light gray but my interior is dark. Thanks so much for the step by step!
Absolutely, and we can't stress 2 things enough: clean clean clean, and very light coats. Hope it goes well for you.
I'm going to do all the interior plastics in my 04 Silverado too, gray is so boring and depressing, I want a nice light brown.
I miss the old days when you could get a nice monocolor interior like brown, and maybe some things would be a slightly different shade of brown but those interiors were the absolute pinnacle of American vehicle interiors.
Gonna replace the carpet or just spray paint it if that's a viable option same with the seats.
It'll be a breeze compared to all the other stuff i've done to my truck.
That is so inspiring definitely going to start this project soon thank you
Did this on a car before even seeing this video. Very light coats is certainly key when painting these, especially the plastic parts around the ashtrays that might have coatings on them (certainly test paint those first). Did mine in grey and black, the ashtray needed to be sanded with fine grain paper to get some kind of coating off the plastic, paint caused the coating to disintegrate. Couldn't get some of the burns or stains cleaned out of some of the darker plastics but the paint hides them to the point nobody would ever notice. I used a light grey and dark grey satin paint and it came out great. But very light coats is for sure the key to getting a nice even coat without runs, bubbles or dust spots...
Great video followed yr instructions and clean perpetration is a must. All turn out like new. Colour was black same product as yours good quality.
Over the years, I have found that prep is super important!!! I strongly recommend SEM aerosol & ADHESION PROMOTER!!!! I have jobs/ favors done 10-15 years ago that are still looking like new, and zero fading or edge peel!!!
My 94 toyota 4x4 needed an interior part replaced, but I couldn't find grey part. So I bought a blue used piece,and sprayed with Presidio SEM... 19 Years ago..... Part still looks new!!
I haven't used any sem or duplicolor on carpet yet.... But I bet it would work....
My 2¢ worth😎
do you apply the ADHESION promoter on first or after u paint it?
I have a 92 yukon 2 door you are gonna make me take my center console out and all my other plastics and repaint them that came out killer thank you for the video
Or you can just sell us the 92 Yukon and we can handle it. Thanks for watching.
Make me an offer worst I can say is no 😂
A must before all of the aboves, great stuff used it to prep/piant pvc outdoor furniture...SEM 38353, Prep plastic&leather🙏
I have used this and the VHT and have gotten great results with both.
I was painting the harder 90's toyota products, but have not had any issues with peeling and seems quite tough.
Did you go with the same color or change it out? I want to repaint the interior of my 02 Tacoma but I want to do it in gray instead of the tan/brown factory. Trim pieces are insanely priced so if I can just paint it would be much cheaper.
Did you add primer or just sand n paint without it ?
Great job! Gave that old console new life!
Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Might try that myself on some panels. God Bless brother!
"Pretty well" is an understatement . That was phenomenal . Good job !!!
Well done! Looks brand new!
Hell of a shop man. Thanks for the video!
I used this stuff religiously,the black spray works great with those other panels,also works really good on carpet.made the interior of a old beater 1992 4x4 splash ranger look brand new.The only thing is when spraying commonly touch areas like arm rest or door trim where you rest your arm you HAVE to prime it,other wise in about 3-4 months it will start to crack and peel.
Scuff,clean,scuff,acitone,prime,LIGHT scuff,And about 5-6 "dusting"coats of top paint
What primer did u use?
Glossy or flat black ? For the panels
Wow looks great. Very labor intensive.
Did half of my cars upper interior 3 years ago, came back to give a little advice & update on it. Well it’s still in good condition. Highly recommend not using those autozone cleaners to clean the parts you painted when it gets dusty from experience it gets faded and the color under starts to show if you rub to hard. “ I usually just touch it up again and it looks fine “ other than that this stuff is amazing. Even after years of sun exposure it’s still yet to crack or chip, no fade or any major problems.
Nice work! I done my whole interior paneling in a black from grey on a 05' Blazer 4x4 Red 3M scratch pads And degreaser If you spray vents Make sure you move them around with each layer added
Tip for carpets ...Always do a light coat ..Let dry, Use a brush And Brush the carpet left right up down ..The idea is You want loose flowing carpet And not glued together rock hard carpet ..Each coat repeat I done 4 coats to mine ..Never know i was there
Thanks for the feedback and as always, thanks for watching.
How long ago did you do it and how is it holding up ?
@@imnota About 2 years ago And been wiping it clean with normal cleaners and water No rips or chips / scratches Or fade .....Tip is above post And Dont gunk on the paint You are Better off with 3 to 4 light/med coats Then 2 heavy coats The other tip is 3 second long sprays ...Longer And the paint spurs out leaving drops of paint ...I am sure you are better than that But i have seen nightmares lol Good luck
@@freakyflow
Yeah I was thinking of doing thin coats anyways to avoid getting a shiny surface. I actually have a good bit of experience painting other things so I think I'll have the technique pretty well, just didn't know if it was a good product and if it's even possible to get lasting results on these type of materials.
I also thought of using a plastic adhesion promoter as some people recommend it for this but I'm not sure since the brand themselves don't say it's needed plus they say it's a dye, not paint...
@@imnota Only time i seen a shop actually use adhesion promoter was with insurance jobs which would only do one thing ..Ring up a higher bill $35 in parts $75 in labor $22 in environmental fees / Disposal of chemicals Which was some guy with a spray can throwing on a light coat of Adhesion lol I never used it And i know I can run my finger nails across my dash And not worry about it coming off ..Just make sure you do the sway painting motion I done mine on a nice sunny day with no real wind
Im going to try this in the old truck this weekend.
I’m looking to upgrade my semi truck interior but need to do it on a budget. Great video!
I'm in the same line carrier. I hope you got painted. If you are interested, co driver, let me know 🧑🦰🚚👩🦰
Several mist coats really makes a big difference. Great results.
I thought that turned out really well , and a nice colour into the bargain . It just so happens , i painted part of my rv dash , a couple of weeks back , after i converted the radio aperture from single to double din . I've not got a hope in hell , of matching the original finish , so i've decided to Hydro-dip with a wood grain . The panel is sitting in the garage , painted in a suitable base colour , ready for the final film . Unfortunately this has being delayed , due to the supplier running out of the film , i'm gonna use .
As for the black panels , i use a plastic refinisher , which i believe is American in origin . It's meant for bumpers , but i've painted pretty much painted , all the faded plastic under the hood . The finish is excellent .
Little postscript here , the colour used to paint this dash , is the same colour as my carpet in the rv .
Very helpful thanks 👍 working on my 69 ghia that I saved from the crusher. This is what I need to do to my Yukon Thanks 👍
Great job, Disassembly and cleaning with light coats at first is so evident in the finished Factory look product.. Looked like the clownsmugglers prior painted it while driving, Fantastic resto!.. Can the black be reliably sprayed?
I did this to some rear plastic bumper guards that sit on top of the Chrome rear bumper for of a 2006 Nissan Frontier. Ohh My, what a damn difference it made. I was also able to do the long plastic piece that sits over the Wipers know as the "Cowl" I swear painting these plastic faded pieces bought back that frontier to a whole "New" Level.
Great Demo and Step By Step. Thanks for sharing :o)
Thanks for uploading this, it will be a big help when I do my interior work.
Glad it was helpful!
I've used this stuff on vinyl for years.
A while ago, I was getting my house ready to sell and doing painting in the basement.
Well, my buddy stepped in the paint tray that was sitting on the stairs.
Cheap peppered black and white carpet, but it looked like hell with white paint spilled all over.
So I get a bright idea and run to the auto parts store and get me 2 cans of black vinyl and carpet paint.
It worked great, carpet still has the plush feel (except where the real paint was)
I'd definitely try it on a ratty old carpet that needs help.
That's awesome that it worked for you. Thanks for watching and sharing.
@@Shoptoolreviews thanks man, this is some good stuff.
Ficou muito bom! Ótima vídeo! Estou pensando em pintar as partes internas do meu Fiat Palio Weekend. Muito obrigado pela explicação. Muito sucesso, saúde e sorte e um abraço do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro, Nova Iguaçu.
Your video taught me so much.
Thank you.
Some great tips mate cheers. Great content.Greetings from oz
Amazing difference great job. Always clean the tip, just the tip, after spraying.
Thank you very much. That's right. ;)
If a person has a paint shaker.....use it on all spray cans of any kind. The improvement in quality is amazing. (I just happen to own a paint shaker).
That’s what she said

I'm gonna do this to my tan 09 vic interior and switch to black. I ordered the duplicolor but I also ordered some rustoleun the make a plastic primer that should help adhere to the door panels and make them not scratch very easy.
Im so glad i watched this. Thank you!
Great! Well done - thank you so much.
Great video. Just one question. How durable is it. Can it be used for a leather steering wheel? Will the paint hold up for at least 1-2 years?
Excellent! Im going to change a 92 f350 blue to the same colour you used and accent it with real teak wood finish. Is this paint uv protected?
Looks amazingly better. The black stuff could just be sprayed with some flat black since its a work truck. If your really worried about the cupholder area try some bedliner rattle can. Its add some material but gives rubbery texture to keep the plastic from getting scratched or cracked.
Im new to this, I was wondering if Back to Black would work?
Nice work TJ...🏁
19:40... McGuire makes a good black plastic rejuvenation liquid...Eastwood has a fantastic black plastic interior paint that would make it look brand new..
Powder laundry detergent is the best cleaner for this stuff... then go back with alcahol or acetone to wipe free of containments....imo
Best video so far on this subject Thanks for sharing Attention to detail
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting us know and thanks for watching.
Perfectly done. How does that stuff hold up quality wise??
Great video....very interested to know though how resistent is that finish to day to day scratching or knocks?
Question truly is does it hold up to wear?
Willing to try. Used other products and look great but just everyday wear removed. Love to see update thanks
Like how you wiped that nozzle off. In addition, invert the can and spray till color blows out into clear spray. Prob 2 to 3 sec. This will ensure the nozzle is clean inside, especially when finished with spraying.
Came here to say this too. My dad taught me that when doing show-quality motorbike rattlecan jobs years ago, keeps the spray from coming out unexpectedly and messing up paint jobs
Great job. Question is there black color for the black color pieces?
Super helpful video and also very clear and simple instructions! Can I do this on my dashboard too? I'm worried about the sun on it - I use a windshield cover sometimes but not always
Excellent job! As for the blacks you can use a ceramic coating to restore, a torch will also help or just simply re spray them as well
Outstanding. Thank you.
Nice job it looks so much better.
Yes, it turned out very well. Thanks for watching.
Excellent, enjoyed that, keep up the good work, liked & subscribed
👍
Can you still do this the exact way if you are trying to change the color on a leather interior or do you sand it down ?
I want to do a two-tone color job on a motorcycle leather jacket- do you have a favorite masking tape to use for a clean line? Thx for your help, these vids are great!
I need to know if the watch cleaned up w/acetone, lol. Great video!
Thanks for the tips Tim. I’m gonna try a color change on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler. Split color of Black and Tan and I want all black. Wish me luck.
Take your time, make sure it's clean clean clean, and use very light coats. Thanks for watching.
You dont have to varnish them? I m trying to do the same thing with my sunvisor , a b c pillars, handles and i m curious if i have to use primer first after paint and in the end varnish. Whats ur opinion?
Can you clean with regular interior detailer after painted or only soap and water?
Good job!
Thanks for the tips👍
Spray looks great used it on a few of my cars, just be careful it will scratch and you will have to paint it again specially on plastic, used black on my headliner came out great but I wear ball caps and it would leave white marks everytime my brim hit the paint, had to touch it up several times, just a tip
Awesome 🤩 very informative on point bro 👍 thank you
That looks great! Thanks for the lesson.
Any time! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video.. I can't believe you sprayed that with your watch on... : )
Glad you liked it. I've worn this watch for years and I rarely take it off. I keep a screen protector on it and clean it when it needs it. Thanks for watching.
Question: I have water stains on my '14 Ford Fusion headliner due to a leaky sunroof, (which has been fixed). It's not all that bad, but while discussing how to correct this with a couple of body shop guys, they were clueless and warned me against trying to scrub the stains out with soap and water. I've noticed that Duplicolor makes a paint just for this, but I'm worried about how close the tint will match. Your thoughts about doing this safely?
Great tips! Thank you!
Thank you very, very informative!!!! Really appreciate your video!!!
Does the vinyl paint dry to a non tacky touch because I have seen vinyl paint remain tacky somewhat, even after it has supposedly "dried"
Nice job too. Console looks amazing !!
Looks great. What's the little plastic crowbar called to pop pieces apart?
U forgot 1 important step adhesion promoter so it can really stick to it ..nice job bringing it back to life
Amazing.... unique color
Damn! That's a pretty good job
This really helped me out. How is it 1yr later?
Looks great man. I’m not a fan of the color but you did a good job 👍
The previous paint job has started to flake off while im scrubbing the panel. But only in 1x1 patches. Im guessing I need to sand the rest of the paint off. What grit would you recommend?
Tell us about how to re-do PLEATHER seats in our RV. Thanks in advance!
How’s the durability of this paint for scuffs, scratches and rubbing against it? Is it as long lasting as factory? Thank you for the vid.
Keep up the good content👍
Appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
Hey, I'm also Tim Johnson. Thanks for posting this. I have a dash bezel in the wrong color.
You have an awesome name! Glad we could help. Take your time, keep it clean clean, and very light coats. Thanks for watching.
Good sharing
how long before it didnt smell and you could put back in the car/truck? As with all types of paint, there is a dry time and a completely cured time, and then there is a no smell time. I wouldn't want to put the console back in the vehicle till the smell was gone.
Great video bro 👍 👌 👏 💪🏽
How does the finish hold up and what do you clean it with when detailing?no clear coat for protection coating?
Looks great 👍
Looks great!
I used the flat black on all the interior trim, it can’t handle my seatbelt when I unbuckle lots of paint remove scratches maybe I’ll wrap them
