Duplicolor
I am using them now on my interior. For the door panels, bins, rear pillar panels, kick panels, and the headliner, I used Flat Black. If you're going to do this route, you Will need the adhesion promoter for the plastic pieces. I did a rough durability test, ie leave them out in high traffic places, and have learned that multiple coats work best. As for the other plastics, like the gauge, console, and door plastics, unfortunately you still have to use the elbow grease and sand paper method. If you want a refresher, IMO, the duplicolor ruberized black looks the best. Check the Sticky at the top for pics of mine and Static's work. That will give you an idea of the difference. He used VHT products, which are very nice products to work with.

Actually, that is the reason I ended up trying it. I couldn't find any posts on here about the paint, but I figured if it worked in that one, it would work in mine. I did email Duplicolor about the car, unfortunately he no longer works for them.

Is there anything I can put on as a finisher to keep the duplicolor rubbarized black from scratching off? How much do I need to andpaper it in order to effectively paint for the best result?
