Spray Painting Interior Trims?

[Joshy 0]

Today I picked up a can of Halfords bumper Black paint and a £1 can of Plasti-kote plastic primer with the inteion of eventually getting around to painting by exterior trim.

 

On the drive back I began to start wondering - Would I be able to paint my interior trim black too? I really want a black interior on my 205 and am trying to source a set of Phase 2 trims, but seeing as how I've already got a "spare" set of phase 1.5 trims I was wondering what sort of success I would have spraying painting the grey trims black?

 

Any ideas?

 

Also, does anybody know if GTI and XS bumpers are interchangeable. My XS has a GTI "kit" on it (what specific parts it consists of I do not know) and I ideally want to nick the rear bumper as the one of my GTI has a crack in it ()

I have painted the interior trim before with good results, so its perfectly doable. Used that halfords bumper paint as well.

 

I'm pretty certain that the bumpers are interchangeable as well.

No worries doing inside or out.

 

May I suggest you use the below paints though, rather than plasticote and other inferior stuff:

You will need:

 

PLAS/2 Adhesion Promoter

PLAS/3 Primer filler

PLAS/5B Colour coat black

Some panel wipe

some scotch pad

What about plasticare? I've done plenty of interior bits and bobs and can't fault it. Not sure how well it'd work on the main part of the dash under the windscreen as that's some sort of vinyl but you'd have that problem with paint too. Also no matter what you use you'd need a very steady hand to paint around the illuminated parts on the heater dials.

 

(I have a phase 2 heater control surround and main dash if you're interested)!
