Anybody ever used this stuff? http://www.bryndana.com/features.html
I saw it in LMC and was thinking about trying some to change the color of my interior. Anybody ever used it? It says its used by The Ford Motor Company.

a buddy of mine used it once before and it held up pretty good.i think he said it started chipping after a few months though.

its ok, i did my interior of my 85 300zx with it but i like dupli-color better. sprays better, and lasts longer.

hmm that doesn't sound good. I was hoping it would last longer than that.

When painting plastic or vinyl, I have found that an adhesion promoter really helps, especially with extreme temp changes.

+1 also. I sprayed all my plastic kitchen cabinets a couple years ago and used the special plastic primer. They still don't have a nick in them and have not peeled any despite hard usage. :icon_thumby:

All right i think ya'll got me sold on the duplicolor stuff. Im totally redoing my interior this summer and can't wait. I don't have a headliner at all though. PO tore it out for some reason.. :annoyed:

probably cause it was sagging. Any ideas about what to do to the metal up there? :icon_confused:

I thought about putting a new headliner in but all the ones i have are to expensive. Im thinking about just paining it, but there has got to be something funner to do :icon_twisted:

your color stuff is only as good as your prep work... clean ALLLLL the grime off of your parts you want to paint... use a cleaner that leaves no residue... duplicolor has what's call prep-spray, or prep-wipes... use those until you'd be ok with licking something off the part... then you can spray your parts... the prep-spray/wipes are an adhesion promoter as well.

you could line the ceiling with xmas lights! ha, seriously though I "thought" about cutting a design in my headliner, backing it with clear hard plastic and use xmas lights as a sort of cheap lighting/leds. but like all my other hair brain ideas.......they stayed as an idea.

Errr Ill have to pass. Maybe i could put some up when christmas gets near... But not year round. I'm half tempted to mount a marker board up there and just draw all over it.

I will be sure to clean EVERYTHING good before I paint it. Im going to be moving slow once I get started and the first step is to get everything out of the cab and clean it good. I hadn't heard of those wipes but ill look into them for sure. Probably around the end of April Ill be buying paint/cleaner so if I can't find anything then ill be shooting you a PM for more details

heres what i usually do for dyeing interior parts. take out what your gonna be spraying, cleran everything with a cleaner called tsp sears or home depot sells it. srub everything with this. then get some prep-sol and wipe everything down untill the rag comes up clean. then get some duplicolor adhesion promoter, and spray everything down. let it sit for 5 minutes, then spray your color, do very light thin coats usually about 2-3 coats will cover. then your good to go. follow these instuctions and your dye will last as long as you own your car. it will not scrath, it will not chip, it will wear through the color before it scratches. i do all my interiors like this and never once have a problem. good luck and post pics when done. :headbang:

As far as a headliner, why don't you go to a junkyard and find a decent one. If it has a fw cracks. Shape it and impregnate it with fiberglass resin and give a suporting coat of fiber glass cloth. (After appropriate prep work) Then glue on a a headliner of your choice. You can even order sculpture foam to put a design iin your head liner. Example- flames, initials, any type of logo. There is information on this all over the net. Or you can PM me and I will help.

LMC offers a OE style headliner. It's made of ABS plastic with OE fabric and offers it in I think 8 colors.

Here's the link. It is a PDF file though.
