The next day I painted all the Side reflectors Artic White. When driving at night the glow still comes thru the paint yet you cant see the orange/red during the day

Interior is a custom blend of dye. I found that torch red mixed with blood orange is very close. The shine fades away after a few days. Very fragile for the first week

Do you do anything special to prep the material and make it more porous? After the first week I assume it ends up pretty durable?
