1990 Ford ranger door panels are made of a vinyl material then a cloth material. I purchased a vinyl and paint cloth paint for it. My question is can you really spray paint this cloth? Will upload pictures later.
Thanks for any help

My credo
If it ain't broke...fix it before it does.
I have actually sprayed carpet with the stuff. It gets pretty stiff after its sprayed but a few passes with a shop-vac fixed it right up. Just be sure to clean that stuff really well, it is very, very dirty. Stacy David did a bit on that stuff on Gears. Scrub it down with tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) you can get it at lowes or any hardware store.

By clean, do you mean wash it with water or vaccuum it like crazy or both?
Thanks
