what grade sand paper should i use for the interior trim? or should i use something else? i was told there was some other kind of matrial that i could use to scuff the trim but i dont know what it is.thanks

 

dont use paint there is special stans for interior pieces i just seen this on hot rod tv over the weekend dont remeber what it was but im sure they have it posted at there web site

 

svt360, I saw that same show. Pretty cool. I'm wondering if you can use them on the exterior trim pieces, like the bed rails or side steps.

 

have the same ideal. it is a stain and i wish i knew what it was called and where to get it.

 

I just painted my gauge pillar this week. You should use a fine scotch brite pad to scuff the interior plastic up first, then clean it with "Plastic Prep". The paint I used is made by "SEM". It's made specifically for vinyls and plastics. It's an elastomeric paint, so it won't crack if the plastic piece flexes. I was very pleased with the results that I got with it.

im thinking of removing smoothing,and painting all my exterior pieces,although ive heard that if you remove the bed rails the clips all break

 

Quicksilver02 is right on the money Listen to him thats how you do it, and SEM is the RIGHT stuff to be using.

 

Wash it down with "Wax and Grease Remover" just before you paint it. Don't touch it after you clean it as skin oil may keep the paint from sticking. Any automotive paint store has rattle can paint for plastic.
