Well i went with painting interior pieces rather than a dash kit. funny thing is i used krylon fusion which everyone says is really good so i took the window control piece out and unscrewed the motor not to ruin it with paint and took the vents out as well as the front speaker covers and the door handle surrounds. I painted both driver and passanger parts in the same manner. I didnt sand any parts at all and the passenger side came out perfect without sanding or cleaning or any of that, they are spotless and dont chip at all. Now for the drivers side, they came out with bubbles in the paint and runs and it chipped. I dont get it i did the same for both sides let them dry the same amount of time and everything. So then i decided to sand down the driver side parts well i Fd that up by using too rough of a grit and now there is indented scratches and marks all over the parts. So now what should i do, i dont know how to cover up all the scrathches and all the really rough areas. Should i just kit a dash kit to cover it up or get all new parts and take the time to paint them the right way, and if so where do i get those replacement parts. The junk yard near me is all 88-94 hondas no 2000. thanks guys for any help

 

use a lighter grit sand paper and try to get it a little smoother may a thicker paint might fill in some of those indentions for you

 

If you read the spray can again, it says that you "don't have to sand." Which means, you don't have to but you'll get a better final product if you do.

My suggestion is to hold the can 8-12" from what you are spraying. Before painting plastic, sand lightly with 300 grit, then sand with 600 grit. Oh, I would also suggest using a clear coat after the Kryon, for extra protection.

The reason the paint bubbled on you was because that spot go too much paint at one time. The solution for that is to use multiple THIN coats, spaced out. Spray painting is a delicate process and you have to be patient otherwise you'll get runs, bubbles, and chips.

I painted my interior blue and now it's all being re-painted to black as we speak so I know a thing or two about sparying with Krylon. Good Luck!!

 

well either way sand or not....... CLEANING IS A MUST... and since the drivers side gets al the daily action of course its panels are gonna be alot dirtier! clean the parts realy good and use a tooth brush to get into the texture to realy clean them good!

 

Would the paint come out better if you were to put a primer on the part first?

 

especially a sandable primer sand between coats

 

wow, i hate to sound harsh, but you painted without any prep work and you're pissed off?

 

Prepping is 90% of painting. The actual spraying is only like 10% or less of the work. You must clean the parts, until there is no spec of dirty visible, and then clean them some more. Then you must sand to scuff and level the surface that way the paint will be able to cling to it. Then you should use sandable primer, and then after that you spray your color coat on.

You should have used duplicolor enamel or laquer paints. That's what I used for my interior and it turned out great. (note: for certain parts like the door panels and dash you have to use vinyl paint).
