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.

What about the smell? I wanna do my seats in my bmw, but I don't want me car smelling like paint for a month
@kalynnkallweit79402 жыл бұрын
@@cartertaion I wont lie, it IS going to smell for a while, I highly recommend you remove the seats from your vehicle to paint them, and wear a respirator, or at the very least a particulate mask. As for how long it will smell for, That depends on if you put them back in the car right away, effectively sealing the smell of the paint drying/ offgassing insie your car, or if you leave them out of the car to air out for a week or so. You'll probably be able to smell the paint for a week to two after that a bit, but honestly, that "new car small" people seem to love is literally all the plastics in the interior of the new car off gassing just like your paint will be doing for a short time.

@kalynnkallweit79402 жыл бұрын
@@dave7655 I would say yes, the application would be the same on a mroe rigid plastic surface like a dashboard, but SEM also makes a spray product called "Bumper Coater" which is designed for harder plastic surfaces. Color Coat would work in my opinion with enough dry time I am sure, but Bumper Coater would be a slightly more appropriate choice for things like dashboards or, obviously, bumpers etc.

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.

Shop Tool Reviews I am pretty anal about prep work cause it’s so important, the seats sat out for theee longest time and had years of dirt on them. The foam was still good so I salvaged them. I spent a day cleaning them. Degreasing, soap water, sopping up the dirt and it kept coming back through the pores each time. I waited till I was satisfied, pretty much the best I’m gonna get all things considered. Did a final scuff next day I painted them up. Your video was very very helpful. Thank you!

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.

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?
