Plasti Dip Interior Plastics?

My interior plastics are very rough and faded. Car has the dark gray 82 interior (Charcoal). Interior is completely out of the car at the moment. I want to stay dark gray.

I was thinking about painting the interior with the SEM paint and all the associated prep etc. but then I thought popped in my head, what about plasti dip. They have a dark gray colour that looks pretty close. Once the stuff cures is stays on pretty good, should not chip.

Any thoughts?

Nice Idea will try it on my 85 T/A tan interior faded and would like to change it a bit.

Thanks for the idea...

Re: Plasti Dip Interior Plastics?

Plastidip can look good, but it can peel on the easy side at times and has that rubber feel to it. If it were me I would use the VHT vinyl dye. I have used it on motorcycle seats and it's held up awesome and looks factory. All I did was whipe the seat clean and spay a few coats. If it will not wear off of a seat in 90 degree temps with my jeans moving all over it time after time it's not going to peel of of trim parts that don't get touched too much.

Re: Plasti Dip Interior Plastics?

Ive plastidipped my grey talon pieces. Plasti dip is easy and quick but scratches and looks like **** quick also.
