Hi Guys
Painting interior plastic panels after stripping to bring them back to look exactly like original requires the use of a paint which includes a flexing agent (to resist cracking) and in the case of most paints including acrylic lacquer a dulling agent. Normally I would use a spray gun but I have found a paint in a spray can ( "PlastiKote" Bumper Black) that achieves both these criteria. Panels painted with it have the exact dull sheen and tone of the original panels while accommodating any flex. It also works well on any metal parts e.g. door armrest inserts.
The spray nozzle emits a very fine spray so it is easy to obtain a very smooth finish following sanding and wiping the surface to be painted with a tack rag to eliminate any dust. It also dries fast. I'm pretty sure it is made in the US.
