MRWEST Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Has anyone used vinyl interior paint before? If so what did you use, howd it perform etc etc? Mostly interested in painting seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomaxgo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I did the rear seat black in one of my old cars, never peeled, flaked or rubbed off. I used the VHT stuff. Would trade again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I used some on the trim of my rear seats (chaning piping colour to match the fronts) used vht pain i think went on well and stuck/bonded. Havnt used it on a large area tho. Id say it will be fine for a few years but will eventually wear through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusherman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 brother inlaw did some torana bits with it and was primo. ive done some vn door cards with cheap shit it worked better on a warm day (driveway paint job spec) dad did a 65 mustang whole interior seats n all and it was sweet minimal wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 i do upholstery for a living. there are guys that can die it or spray it. if doing it yourself i would recommend VHT stuff just make sure u clean it really well and would recommend doing it on a hot day or maybe finding some one local or close to do a cashie for you. pm if your interested in a price on a cashie. best of luck any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Brilliant this is a feed back i want, iv got mint condition vinyl seats for the 64, but its red, not workign with my colour scheme and a new kit is probably 800-1000 ish for it. So if this works for a few years and its all good then is worth pursuing. Ill PM you 64Valiant as im not far from Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 seems a waste to remove the mint coverings and get news if there is a cheaper alternative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Go red man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 It is all there to be red, but with red you need black and dont want to do black exterior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 White works as well, what colour are you going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Red works with almost any colour and looks dope. Do not mess with the red till you at least try it in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 yeah white also, kind of put off white after the shit shade of it the car came in lol.... Red may work yet so its proabbly safest to wait till im done with paint then decide once iv tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Another vote for VHT stuff here. I've used black on carpets- great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Oh Yeah. In answer to your question. Yes the VHT shit is sweet. Brain says how but in practice it works so well. Old material seems to really soak it up though so get a few cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 My back seat in the rx is done in the vht shit , it's good stuff.You won't notice it on normal clothes as most are flat on the back and is fuckin awesome for paint.However when you do those weddings I recommend something in between the zip/lace up piece on the back of the dress.Maybe it's just the bouncing around in the rx but the high pressure areas like that you will see it , anyone else wouldn't notice and is just the high spots in the zip or lace up eyes on the corset that rub on the seat and get the paint tinge on them . She never noticed till the next day anyway.Highly recommended is good shit and smells awesome being sprayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Done some research years back for a company that screen prints road cones (yes the ones we all Run over everyday.) the best stickyest stuff in my opinion is supplied by a company in onehunga, think it was surface technologies will double check this week. in my trialing i painted my hoodlining in my car the dash and seats they were all different colours and after painting the look was seamless in satin black and didnt age in the 4 years i daily drove my car. second best was the vht product when we couldnt get hold of the othe other stuff.
