The interior panels in my 99 xj are starting to fade and look old. I have a plan to pull out a few at a time and wash/prep/paint them properly. starting at the back.
Anyone have any experience doing this or know WHAT PAINTS WORK BEST ON THESE INTERIOR PANELS?
I am just talking about the hard plastic ones. They have a small texture to them. I could always use Krylon but there must be a better option that will hold up better. Or maybe not.
Looking for any tips!
Thanks!

My dad had some hunter green paint that we sprayed on a unpreped kick panel. We left it outside where we painted it. Beleive it or not but it's been 7 (? maybe more) years & the paint is still on it.
Since then Krylon Fusion has came out. I will be trying this route when I do my door panels. You can also use dye designed for plastic.

First you don't use paint look at sem brand dye it comes in a spray can and a ton of factory colors.But before you dye it you gonna clean it really good.Take the part out wash it with a good dish soap and some tsp cleaner then a grease and wax remover then you dye it.
