Some Info About Painting With Enamel.

you can go to your local walmart,autozone,advance auto parts, o'rileys and so on and pick up a can of duplicolor vinyl and fabric dye.

or you can spend a few bucks more and order a LITTLE bit better quality stuff from lets say year one or summit racing and so on.

the prep for plastics and vinyl and so on is to WASH WASH WASH.....you need to make sure any and all oil contaminants are removed from the surface.

you can do so with light soapy water, surface prep "wax and grease remover" from your local paint supply or auto parts store or even a walmart.

then I take a scotch bright pad and scuff the surface until it has a uniform "dull" texture. Then I take and blow the peice off with compressed air and then go back over it yet once again with wax and grease remover.

then shake your paint well, spray a light dust coat "tack coat" let it flash for a few minutes, spray a medium coat "cover coat"....let it flash for a few minutes, then spray your 3rd and final coat "wet coat" and let it dry.

the stuff dries within minutes and can be handeled within 10 minutes, I painted and installed my dash pad within a 20 minute time span to give you and idea.

its pretty forgiving stuff so if you make a mistake its easy to fix. this paint has a "splattery" spray pattern and results are best when spray 8"-12" away from the surface of whatever you are painting.


Ill try to get you a website link to the paint I am refering to so you can get a better idea
