I have fairly extensive experience with this particular paint, and I am telling anyone watching this. that he is RIGHT.. This is a GREAT how to do things properly video. The first few light coats ARE the key to a recover job that actually STICKS. DO NOT BE IMPATIENT. You will regret it. This is the MOST accurate vinyl tutorial I've come across on you tube that fully echoes ALL of my experience. My only criticism would be that "wait a few minutes" is a bit vague ... Pretty sure he means 5- 10 minutes from my own experience with similar products.. ( the SEM vinyl paints he mentioned are what I have more experience with) Why am I looking at vinyl painting videos then You might ask...? I'm not.. I'm looking for videos on how to repair holes in vinyl and this one came up... Not what I was looking for.. but, I'm always up to see if I can learn any new tips!. Glad to see there is some actually good advice on you tube still.

If you are trying to change the color of a dark color to a lighter one, then to make the color "pop," first paint the vinyl white and then lay down the desired color. I do this with any dark color I wish to change to a lighter one.

It’s all in the prep work, I just repainted some donor seats for a 63 Mercury Comet, in high gloss black. Even with Matte Black it will be a bit glossy. You can scuff before hand or clean clean clean. Degrease it, use Soap, make sure it is dry. Use isopropyl alcohol 80 percent preferably or get a grease and wax remover. Make sure it’s dry. Then follow the instructions to this video. Prep work is everything. Follow instructions then you’ll be in the clear.

Once you get it wet… stop! Period. Being patient is key. Thank you so much!!! Great tutorial!!

Really great job on this. My only suggestion would be to use a 4x4 block or something similar to sit it on between coats, so the freshly painted edges aren’t sitting directly on a surface.

The best tutorial on KZfaq for painting 🔥

After all these years of spray painting damn near everything in my house ... probably twice ... and someone finally tells me to do that first coat very lightly. Lol

I did my whole dash 2015 in 2021 still looks like factory never peeled off not even a scratch it's holding up very strong..

Repainting a boat seat with sem and it’s turning out great thanks to your video! Appreciate the tips.

So glad I found this video. Been dreading the prospect of having to replace the driver's side door panel on my 18yr old Lexus LS430 due to worn vinyl color on the arm rest. Looking forward to trying this out instead. I'll be following every step outlined herein.

If you sand the leather with a 600 grit paper on a dry sponge it'll help adhere much better. Use a isopropyl alcohol to clean it afterwards and allow it to completely dry before hitting it with the paint.

If it’s similar to car painting , you want to get the tape off as soon as you know the paints not going to run , reason being if the paint hardens too much over the tape you stand of a chance of pulling some paint off around the edges , great vid

Wow thanks!! Im doing some parts of a rear seat today and this really is helpful instruction. Appreciate it so much

Thanks for the great video and techniques. Getting ready to paint a vinyl dash that I pulled from a wreck to replace the cracked one in my Suburban.

Applied these tips to painting my Air Filter Assembly & it looks A+ Very excited to do my entire engine bay. Thank you!

Great advice to gp slow! I've been painting plastic parts with vinyl because it looks amazing. But the vinyl has been chipping with repeated impacts. I thought it would be more durable because I had originally painted a piece where the vinyl bonded crazy good, without adhesion promoter! But I suppose different plastics will behave differently.

That was a great instructional video! Thanks and God bless!

Great video!! I’m in the upholstery business and do a lot of boats. spray painting certain sections I have come in very handy. Very durable as well.

One other thing I’m by trade a contractor . So if you are doing a vinyl top and the stitching is pulling away use seam seal for linoleum . It’s water proof and shrinks as drys .

Nice video. I was going to replace my door panels. Can't wait to try this method! Thanks for sharing this info! Cheers from Motown!

😁 thank you so much!!! I get it! It’s like putting on mascara😁☺️ Light layers 👌😁😁🥰

Tysm! I wanted to chanmge my black and white chair to just white, this helped so much!

Great how to video, thanks for posting.👍

Great video. My husband's 2005 Tundra has that same color interior. It needs this!

I came here to see if I could spray paint my roller skates neon yellow with rust oleum neon I have a white primer But can I do this to my old bike as well! Wow!! The range of creativity And ideas💕💕😁

The product Dissol is very good for a pre cleaner. Dissolves embedded dirt and grime… then a wash n degrease and paint! Perfect product Dissol. Multi purpose cleaner that my paint guy suggested before re colouring my interior.. wow he was right…. The amount of grime that the dissol removed within a minute, simple scrub washing did not do.

Started doing this on my bmx seat works great!

Thanks for a great video😊

Greetings from Australia! What a great tutorial, cheers mate.

That was a great help. was looking to refresh a motorcycle seat.

Very nice work thanks for sharing your time 👍

I learned something new today, you're a great teacher thanks :)

im gonna paint the vinyl parts of my gaming chair! ty for this

I've used this stuff for years its a good product that works

Instead of your signature you left a thumbprint excellent I love it I will be doing the same😁🤙

Nice job

That looks fantastic

Thanks man this video was great help love your vids

thank you! im going to paint my roller skates :)

Thank you so much for this!

Would you recommend this for changing the color of vinyl bench seats I'm thinking of going from black to white or either a light tan color and also would you recommend wet sanding first saw another video just need an advice which way to go about it thanks?

very good technique

Awesome tutorial,good information.

👍Fantastic. Thank you! 💝

Great video thanks for sharing 👍

I wish i had FULLY paid attention to this video. I thought I knew what i was doing because Ive been painting professionally my entire life. Needless to say i screwed up my interior horribly and I must redo everything with no other option but to go all black. So whenever he says LIGHT COATS, TRUST ME DO LIGHT COATS!!!! AND BE SURGICALLY CLEAN THE ENTIRE TIME. THIS IS NOT LIKE DOING BODY WORK OR WALLS IN YOUR HOME AT ALL

Is there a way to get more of a glossy/shiny finish? Or perhaps another clear product to go over the top to make it glossy?

SEM all day baby great job....Duper color seems to work

Thank you. Awesome video!

Thanks man it makes total sense now...

Totally forgot they had the shit in the can, going to go buy two cans tomorrow wish me luck

We know painting anything will look better.. the only thing we really want to know is does it last ? Scratch?

Orange-red vinyl barstools I sit on every day are now dark orangey- brown from the black dye from my leggings. If painted does the paint come off on my pants and how long will the paint last if I’m sitting and sliding onto the seat several times day? I just bought stretch fabric covers but they just don’t look as good. Thanks for this video and hopefully your reply.

I’m gonna dye my landau top from ranger white to dessert tan .

Always clean the tip

Good deal looks great

“Once you get it wet, stop” was my only takeaway from this video….

Don't forget the adhesion promoter It is absolutely necessary!

Is the Dupli-Color better than the RustOleum fabric & vinyl? I’ve only used the RustOleum f&v, but I’ve had difficulties with DulliColor regular spray paint in the past so I tend to avoid it. I’m sure some of it was user error but I know not all of it was. Curious about what to do if you get fisheyes. Had some show up while testing on a piece of hard plastic, under dash trim. I’ve always thought it was some kind of contaminant but I’ve read it can actually come from the can as well? Also wondered about a 2 tone interior. If you have to tape off a section, will it possibly pull the paint? Assuming I waited until the first color was completely dry (a few days?)and using painters tape. TIA for any suggestions or answers.

That was great information

Everything's fine and dandy.Where do you find these colors?I went to home depot Lowe's Ace Hardware.All the suppliers don't have these sprays

After you paint with the vinyl paint and it dries. Are you then able to apply armor all or other dressing to the painted surfaces over time.

Thanks for the idea. Can I use this on vinyl stools in kitchen?

Thanks your the Best.. I wanna do my steering wheel leather part with SEM 17413 Light Cashmere Classic Coat i have a 2008 caddy sts ... I wanna also do my arm rest.. another video used this Angelus Brand Matte Acrylic Leather Paint Finisher No. 620, after painting.. they said it will seal & protect the paint finish.. does that work to help the finish stay safe from sweaty arms.. and palms...

Awesome video..but at a point of the video I had to turn my phone upside down 😂😂. got confused for a second

Thank you.

The reason he’s doing really really light coats and letting them dry in between each coat before the next applied is because have you ever tried removing overspray without using any kind of chemicals on something you did not want paint on? My point exactly LOL

This gives me hope for a project I want to undertake. It's a very large project. I have a King size 4 post bed with this type of leather on the headboard and matching bench. The bed itself is dark "wood" that is fake obviously, I think it's filled with a type of styrofoam..I intend to chalk paint that part, which I have researched to death. The leather is exactly the same as this you've shown...My issue is, it is black...and I want to paint it a light kind of sand color because I am going to antique white the bed itself. My question to you is, do you recommend a base coat of any kind since I will be going from black to a very light color? Or should I just put on as many light coats as it takes to get full coverage, even if that means 20 coats or more? Thank you so much for this video!!

This is so cool

I'm going to the junkyard today to replace two bucket seat in the front and I'm doing this

WHICH DEGREASER DID YOU USE IN THE VIDEO?

Multiple coats. Thanks!!

Would it be okay to do some clear over it afterwards for extra durability? Whether it's a satin or matte clear. Thank you

Emphasizes the importance of prep but does not show.

I’ve painted several interior parts but doesn’t last. Had a leather steering wheel done professionally and it didn’t last but 2 months.

A#1 JOB AWSOME

Excellent video! Would this work on vinyl strapping on deck chairs? Would it be worth it, as there is a metal frame beneath the strapping making it difficult to get the coverage. Your advice?

This video would have been a little more thorough if you had identified the degreaser you used. The can appeared to be acetone but couldn't be sure.

Nice

Nice like video

Thank you

Thanks!!

How how do you mask so well. I would love a few tips on how to mask things off before painting

I want to do this for my boat's vinyl cushions and interior. But then I would like to follow-up with either some type of water repellent or clear rubber type of coating. What product would you all recommend for that?

How would I go about fixing my doors panels that some one had already painted ? An the paint is chipping off an not sticking to the vinal panels ? Should I sand them down ? Or just use a degreaser an clean them really well? Or would I have to stop them down with a thinner an start from the beginning of the spraying ?

Restoring a pleather couch that's pealing and it's a 'smokey' grey so will likely paint so I can do layers. I'll be using acrylic latex with a hack to given it more flexibility BUT what sheen would that be? Eggshell seems too dull but semi gloss seems a bit to much. Thoughts?

Do you recommend the same for leather couch?

Does Dupli-Color make these vinyl/fabric paints in a wide assortment of colors? Several manufacturers make replacement headrests for the front seats that are fitted with DVD players for the back seat occupants. They all sell them in three standard colors; black/tan/gray. This looks like an excellent way to make them exact match the original OEM leather color, especially because the headrests are usually a low wear application. My Lincoln is a very light tan, almost white, called "Stone". Can Dupli-Color match it?

what happens when it doesnt last after awhile? crack? fade? what do you do when the old vinyl paint starts to get old and you want to paint again? Do you have to remove the old vinyl paint first? How is that done?

I've got an office chair that had the normal peeling paint to make it look like black leather. I have taken all the peeling material off and now left with whatever material the manufacturer has used underneath. What processes do I need to do now to get the chair back to normal? Is the paint you use in this video what I need?

Hi. Nice info. i have nissan micra k12 2004,and i was wondering if i can paint the passenger airbag cover with duplicolor vinyl and fabric.The passenger airbag cover in nissan its something between vinyl an plastic, and it had lost it colour due to hand sanitizer .Is it safe to pain that part? Thanks in advance!

I Like your work covering & i can see u have experience. Will dye stay on seats the same way ?

I know this ain't plastic but if I'm correct on plastic is wax and grease remover, adhesion promoter, and base color correct? Oh yeah and before you even apply that wax and grease remover is washing also considered?

Great video :) Will this work on rubber? Specifically old (clean) bicycle inner tubes?

Thanks for your video. It is great. What's the name and brand of the spray?

Very good video. Will by my next DIY project!

How are you sir? I had a cigarette burn in my car seat, and I fixed it , but I can’t find the exact color to match? Do you know how I can go about, getting the exact color? When your armrest was dry, in the beginning of the video, it was close? It’s a very light grey.

I’m trying to convert my tan interior to black but I’d like it to look a little factory. Should I get the gloss or the flat paint?

I have a 2011 xc 60 Volvo and my dog put teeth masks on leather steering wheel cover. Is there a way to perhaps use super glue to fill in teeth marks then light sand and spray it back to original ?

I bought an old car that had painted seats. They were slightly sticky for several years in the back seat, especially Some paint would come off, onto your pants if you sat on them. What made that happen?
