I am redoing my vinyl interior parts with vinyl paint and I need to also do the steering column parts and the ashtray door on the console . The difference being that they are made of white metal , not vinyl. Can they be painted with the vinyl paint so they will match the surrounding parts ? Thanx Brent

I don't think it will stick.Maybe if you primered it first it will thou.

It worked for me, but I gave the steering column a good clean up with thinners first. I used VHT vinyl spray and did it over a year ago and although I haven't yet driven the car, there are no signs of it coming off. I get in and out of the car a lot while working on it and it doesn't budge. I'd say go for it, but make sure the metal parts are clean first.

You can use the vinyl paint if you use a metal or rubber or plastic primer first. I bought some of this stuff from Eichlers years ago and am still using it today.

I agree, used it on the column and horn cap. just wipe down with a cleaner and primed (Kraylon metal primer). Let it dry for a few days before working around it.
It will scratch easy untill cured.

It works fine on metal I gave it a light sanding and cleaned really well with alcohol and sprayed with VERY light coats. Came out perfect, matches vinyl to a tee.
