I did amazing prep cleaning, but skipped the Bulldog adhesion promoter and that was a big mistake!!! Door panels chipped like crazy without even touching them. Got the bulldog and redid them and they’re holding up great now!! Don’t skip that step!!!!!
Great video. I like that you took your time and you're right, prep is everything. Light coats and 8" to 10" away. I've seen where people say if you can keep the spray can vertical, you'll get a more consistent spray out of the can. Great job!
keeping the can vertical has nothing to do with DUPLI-COLOR vynil paint... they have a red tip that can be rotated on the little hole where the paint comes out. Just rotate that and its like if it was vertical...
One thing you should know though is acetone might be ok on the Soft leather pad parts but on the hard plastic and even softer plastics it actually causes micro cracking and breakdown of the plastic... The isopropyl alcohol/rubbing alcohol/denatured Alcohol are the way to go with the spray away glass cleaner...
iv used the duplicolor dye spray i find it sprays wayy better on its own and blends amazing so done need to put it on heavy takes 2 coats its color lays well and binds even with one coat no need for more then 2 color wont get any darker with more coats
One of the best how to's on yt. I've also seen some people use TSP from Lowe's to clean with. Just wish duplicolor offered this in a quart can for spray gun use.
This is amateaur 15 mins. The dude doesn't clean well at all, He's definitely not a spray painter and uses poor quality hardware store products. Not exactly a best of anything other than fekin up an easy task.
All of this was very good advice and I would not disagree with any of it. The only thing you left out is another extremely important part in doing a project like this!! And that would be temperature!! Especially with plastic make sure that not just the room you are in is warm enough but the actual panel also. That is a mistake some make by bringing in a panel from outside off of a cold truck and just start on it. Rubbing alcohol and acetone are very cold and will chill the surface so if any doubt it doesn't hurt to carefully warm it up with a heat gun or something like that just don't get to crazy with it obviously LoL. A warm or correct temp panel helps with drying and is all around better to have so, ya. That's all!! LoL
Question? Do you have to wait for adhesion promoter to dry before paint? Or while it’s wet? Also how long in between coats on actual paint? Do you want it to still be tacky or dry between coats?
Found this video the most helpful of all the videos I found thanks had a question would you recommend using the adhesive promotor for doing car carpet and seatbelts as well?
Damn I'm about to do my interior pillars and visors etc in Vinyl and fabric but I bought gloss black. Everyone told me to buy gloss black but I saw a few videos and it looks too black and out of place. This flat black looks OEM and very nice. Might have to go and swap my can.
Nice Job... I have a door panel i purchased from a salvage yard i need to paint black and may want to paint the other three the same can you tell me how well does this hold up am planning to keep my truck and could this be down with a shine like paint
Beautiful work. I think the passenger looks better than the driver, but maybe it is the video , I was thinking on painting mine from my truck I I do love the cleaning process never though about cleaning the panels like that but because I do want then too look nice for me of course. Thank you
This is in no way a criticism, but instead an honest question- why not spray the armrest and window/lock controls? Otherwise, hands down one of the best videos I've watched on painting panels. Thanks!
Nice job though. How well does it hold up. You know the doors didn't get destroyed by just sun. That was from arm sweat. The acids in the skin plus sun. Yeah buddy. It'll wreck stuff. How does this hold up?
What is the best way to clean the panels after dying them? I've noticed they collect dust easily and with a rag it's hard to wipe because of the rough texture.
Great video, thanks. I want a little shine, like a satin, and it looks like the flat will give you that, but its hard to know from a video. Would you say there's a little shine in person?
I'm sure there's different things you could use then acetone. Definitely alcohol would work as well. The only thing that I have found that takes off a lot of chemicals is acetone and brake part cleaner. It seems to remove everything but you have to be careful about what you use it on. I use spray away glass cleaner as a cleaner for everything including our wraps and when we do paint projects
@@octanetvchannel thank you. Ill get some acetone and green and Grey scotch pads too. 2 cans of dupli-color medium blue. I hope it's enough to do '87 Chevrolet S-10 dashboard and glovebox door. The original is cracked pretty bad, recently bought a Grey dashboard, changing to medium blue. I seen the better adhesive spray dupli-color makes. I knew I should've gotten. I may have to get. Thanks again, much appreciation.
It's really strange the WAY THIS HAPPENS TO SOME CARS/TRUCK. My dad has a 2007 Sport Trac with tan interior that's always parked in a garage that has faded door panels, but I've got a 2002 Ranger with gray interior that's always in the sun and the door panels look perfect.
Does anyone have an opinion or experience finishing it off with a clear coat (except, of course the arm rests)? I am thinking the clear coat would improve the durabilty and make it easier to clean. Any thoughts?
Question: can you paint the plastic interior car parts with regular spray paint versus vinyl paint? Asking because I can't seem to find the color I need in the vinyl paints. I imagine that if I prep it right it shouldn't matter, but any advice is appreciated.
I'm going to try to paint match my door panels with some semi gloss, lightly sand them with 800 grit to get them prepped, and gently spray them. I forget what I spray painted using this method, but I remember it working well
I worked as a spray painter but never done in a car , I understand preparation 80% I am just concerned about wear and friction also there is some cloth on the door I'm going to do the interior of a beige I want to incorporate satin or matte black finish what products will give me long-wearing and when I clean I don't want a product that will shine I know that's down to me not rubbing too hard and I'm going to put some final around the centre console there is some material as I said on the door also opened to any colour suggestions that work well with beige I'm leaving the seat beige the shiny timber around the gear shifter I was going to go piano black shiny but now I'm thinking wrapping it carbon fibre finish has anybody walked with beige and looked out in terms of matching that worked really well with the beige the outside paint job is dark navy nearly black looking so I don't want to go to dark centre console carbon fibre and Matt finish and I was thinking probably incorporating some carbon fibre parts of the door that will be touched the most stations open to any suggestions and brand names in products
Hey man not sure if you’ve tried it by now or not but I did it on a light beige door panel to paint it black like this video and the color comes is out great. Not shiny at all. However, not sure if I did something wrong but it chips way too easily off. I prept it exactly like this video. Did 4 coats of paint, two coats of adhesive, and prep work. Personally I don’t think mine will last long
acetone melts plastics. So be careful using such! Also if you don't want it to scratch as bad you can clear coat the paint using satin or gloss, or flat. It will help protect the color and it won't scratch as bad. After all this work I'd definitly seal my work!
I scuffed and preped my door with the wax and grease remover and when i was spraying it with the flat black it started looking like ashy on some parts do know why did you have this same problem
Dude do you have clue how toxic acetone is and how aborbant your skin is? Not good... Get some gloves on!! Hard to find but butyl rubber gloves are the best against acetone. Nitril in pinch, I even use gloves for alcohol, etc etc your liver will appreciate it
I did amazing prep cleaning, but skipped the Bulldog adhesion promoter and that was a big mistake!!! Door panels chipped like crazy without even touching them. Got the bulldog and redid them and they’re holding up great now!! Don’t skip that step!!!!!
Does it need to be bulldog? Or any adhesion promoter
@@lachlanshipley6978 I’m sure any kind would work. I just went with the bulldog since it was recommended in this video!
You can skip adhesion promoter if you simply scuff the panels first.
Yep I agree with needing promoter.
Any transparent plastic primer will do..
I followed this video step by step and my doos panels turned out absolutely perfect!! Thank you!
How are they holding up?

@@bonnivilleblackcherry9745hush down buddy, no one cares
I thought you could get away with a light sanding to create grooves for the paint to stick
Though it's not wood, so I guess his method of using an adhesion layer makes more sense I guess
All of this was very good advice and I would not disagree with any of it. The only thing you left out is another extremely important part in doing a project like this!! And that would be temperature!! Especially with plastic make sure that not just the room you are in is warm enough but the actual panel also.

your a badass very good painter very detailed in ever step !

We have never tried that. I would probably try to test some first to see how it works
Turned out awesome make me want to paint my panels.
Damn I'm about to do my interior pillars and visors etc in Vinyl and fabric but I bought gloss black.
Everyone told me to buy gloss black but I saw a few videos and it looks too black and out of place. This flat black looks OEM and very nice.

Definitely want to do flat or satin
Looks great! Thanks for the instruction!!
Great video. It shows a colour change from dark grey to almost black. Does this work going the other way…..Black to tan?
Should be able to we just have not done it yet
I love this!!! Great details 💪💪💪💪
Thank you!
How durable is it whenever it comes down to actually cleaning the panels?
Held up great with no problems
@@octanetvchannel would it last a long time tho?
Looks great. Your patience and hard work paid off! 👍
One word : "SEM" nothing, nothing compares to it.
Amazing video found door panels that i maybe buying that im not sure are the same color but ill just door this to all my panels to match
Nice Job... I have a door panel i purchased from a salvage yard i need to paint black and may want to paint the other three the same can you tell me how well does this hold up am planning to keep my truck and could this be down with a shine like paint
So why didn't you use a filler since the plastic was so pitted and damaged? Nice work restoring.
Beautiful work. I think the passenger looks better than the driver, but maybe it is the video , I was thinking on painting mine from my truck I I do love the cleaning process never though about cleaning the panels like that but because I do want then too look nice for me of course. Thank you
Like honestly brotha did the door panels really come out looking as good on video?? They look good and way better than before! 😎
This is in no way a criticism, but instead an honest question- why not spray the armrest and window/lock controls?
Otherwise, hands down one of the best videos I've watched on painting panels. Thanks!
They are different type of material
So afterwards when cleaning your interior it doesn’t fade or anything? Can you put armor all on it ??
beautiful work bro
So I know this is 4 years old but if you don’t go with bulldog could you use the sem adhesive promoter?
Yes you can
Nice job though. How well does it hold up. You know the doors didn't get destroyed by just sun. That was from arm sweat. The acids in the skin plus sun. Yeah buddy. It'll wreck stuff. How does this hold up?
Great job thanks for the advice
Thank you, your video is so helpful!
Your welcome!
Acetone on plastic??
How well does it hold
Up?
Held up great so far
Can I use "Spay Away Speed Detailer" instead of "Spay Away" glass cleaner?
Should be able to
Great job 👏 👏👏👏
God bless everyone have a great day be safe
Can i change the colour black to red with this product my friend
You can but definitely do extremely light coats
@@octanetvchannel thank you so much
I’m trying to repaint my door cards on my 1999 BMW Z3. Part of it is plastic but Im wondering if this works on leather too?
It should
How did you change the wood trim,,, the clear coat on mine is all messed up... I like how yours look carbon fiber
He has Harley Davidson trim not wood trim
How long did you wait for it to dry between coats??
What is the best way to clean the panels after dying them? I've noticed they collect dust easily and with a rag it's hard to wipe because of the rough texture.
We just use sprayway foaming glass cleaner
Great video, thanks. I want a little shine, like a satin, and it looks like the flat will give you that, but its hard to know from a video. Would you say there's a little shine in person?
If you buy the flat version it will still have a little bit of shine
Clear coat it
Could ya use denatured alcohol in replace of acetone? I've a dashboard to do soon. And it's "spray away glass cleaner?" ⚡👍⚡

Yes it will definitely help protect it and durability

Would this work for a 80's Caprice dashboard?
What do you do for leather pads and fabric on the door panels ?
Liquid dye from automotive leather dye
@@octanetvchannel thank you for your reply, curious would you recommend a Matte clear coat on the painted vinyl ?
@@Syzygizing sem makes some
I accidentally didnt use adhesive and its chippy. Would i use like some aircraft paint remover to get that spray paint off so i could start over?
I would definitely not use aircraft stripper on plastic. I would try to use lacquer thinner or paint thinner
What do you use if u have light scratches on door panels? How do you remove that
I would try a red Scotch Brite pad. I wouldn't go any lower grit than that. You could even try 1000 grit or higher sandpaper

Definitely a great idea!
What about when your cleaning it and does it rub off and stain the skin in certain conditions
It hasn't for us
What’s the texture like after??
So in your opinion - would SEM or the duplicolor be better
Sem is better but both work great
@@octanetvchannel how has this job help up? any touchup needed around the touched areas?
@@typexfantasy not that we know of
What is SEM?
@@trustenbaker8766 it's a brand
I wonder how important the prep is!
doesnt glass cleaner have different chemicals that we dont need in the panels? do we have to use it or no?
No sir if you use sprayway glass cleaner it will definitely work the best
Is the paint still holding on or rather did it last long?
It is actually holding up still after a few years
How about if scratches? It is easily scratch?
Try clear coating it
Just bought a 98 Suburban with some Horrible panels. Now I know what to do
Can you use this leather door panels? Or do I need to use leather dye?
I would use leather dye
Great work :)
Thank you!
Honest question why no primer?
did u use glossy or matt black ???
Matte or satin works best
I scuffed and preped my door with the wax and grease remover and when i was spraying it with the flat black it started looking like ashy on some parts do know why did you have this same problem
Might want to shake it up really well and sometimes if you don't lay even coats it will do that
Oh ok thank you bro , it happened to you aswell ?
@@Ezeke_ yes a few times
OCTANE TV so should i just keep spraying over it
God loves you
Do I have to remove the panel
Definitely
@@octanetvchannel and if I cover the other parts and spray paint what’s visible don’t you think it would work?
@@thiagoesperebien3512 what a dumbass question, overspray gets everywhere you’re making it harder for yourself, just remove the door panel
How do you make sure you get paint inside those side pockets
You just have to mist it in the pockets. You don't want to lay it too heavy
That's 1970's Camaro plastic faded...WOW
I've never understood why they call this "dye". It's not dye. It's PLU (flexible paint).
Can I paint cloth with that paint?
Yes
Now he has black doors and grey dash ... and grey everything else
did you just touch the panel with oily fingers (6:49 and 6:50 ) just as you started painting lol
Probably lol I do dumb shit sometimes. Probably had to go back and clean it again afterwards LOL
How many spray can use
About one can per panel
You can not paint plastic been trying 50 years it always peels right off its never stuck to plastic prep does not change plastic is plastic.
You may wanna use a mask
great video but as a youtuber you should suggest wearing a mask for protection
Dude do you have clue how toxic acetone is and how aborbant your skin is? Not good... Get some gloves on!! Hard to find but butyl rubber gloves are the best against acetone. Nitril in pinch, I even use gloves for alcohol, etc etc your liver will appreciate it
