Tips for Panel Prep before Spray Dye
Hey Guys ...
What are you best tips for prepping a dash panel prior to spray dyeing?
What will remove the silicones and oils without softening the vinyl? I gave a quick wipedown with some thinner ... but that didn't do the trick. I clearly still have some issues and will have to start over.
Tips??
:confused: :confused: :confused:

Go to your local PPG paint dealer ,tell him what you are doing. They have a cleaner just for painting the interior parts. Then clean once, let dry, do it again and again then paint in very light caots. It may take 3 - 5 coats for good coverage and color. :cheers:

Not sure if you need it but there is a prep spray that you apply first then go over it with the 'dye' paint. Think I did like 3 coats of the dye for my vinyl parts and 2 for the hard plastic ones. I was pretty happy with mine but it is paint and it will stick to stuff if your car is left in the sun, I left my passenger seat against the upper dash in the sun for an hour or so and the dye stuck to the seat. :(

Talked to the local PPG guy ... he recommended a SX 1003 Vinyl Cleaner and Prep product. Does that sound familiar? I'll probably give that a try.
Thanks!
