Interior Painting...

[wowbird]

I love my 03 T-Bird but want to change the interior. I have found a company in denton that will take my all black interior and change the center panel to turquoise for me. They do great work.

My question to you guys (and gals) is this: In the past I did some interior painting on my 69 mustang convertable. That turned out really good and was very durable. I am a little more hesitant with my baby bird. Does anyone have any esperience or referral for this kind of thing?

Charles, talk to this company you have found and I am sure they will use a paint for vinyl/plastic which has a "flex agent" in the paint - that is the extent of my knowledge on paints for plastic or vinyl. Hope your results are great !

Be sure to ask this company if the paint is fade resistant and how does it react to sun
drying out cracking or softening. Our interriors get extremely hot in car shows with the top down. Also if you have used any of the vinyl plastic or leather cleaners and preservers that make the interrior shine, be sure to tell them about it as the silicone in these products absorbs into the plastic on our cars and will make it very difficult for the paint to stick properly without treating it first to remove the slick shine from the silicone.

I had a Caddy convertible interior painted. It was really shabby and came out looking like new. I think you'll be happy with the results as long as it's done by a specialist.
