ColorBond

[DK5]

Anybody use it before?

LMC has it for 12.95 a can. You can buy the Prep/cleaner as well for 8.95 and the clear coat for 12.95. There is also an Adhesion Promoter, but I don't think it is needed for plastic.

I'm considering revamping my door panels. They are in pretty good shape except for the brushed bands but I believe I can buy those replacements at LMC as well.

Just have to decide if I'm going to stay with Red or change to Black...

If you have used the Colorbond stuff, how well does it hold up?

I used it to change a tan headliner to blue. Worked pretty well and looks great. Dont know how long its going to last though cause I just used it about a month ago.

Im in the market to paint my interior panels also. I want to paint the dash and door panels. Any good ideas on paint that will hold up?

If you didn't already read them, the first three threads in this interior section have good ideas on paint.

My top three ideas from reading, are:

-SEM Colorcoat with denatured alcohol for prep

-ColorBond from LMC with their prep cleaner

-Bedliner for the dashpad and door panels (I have pics of a truck that turned out really nice with this- I'll have to dig them up) I'm just not sure about what kind of prep would need to be done for this yet.

Oh i read them all after the fact =P... But it seems as if people are iffy about their recommendations. I will most likely go with a bed liner type style.
Thanks
