My plastic interior pieces have carpet on the bottom half of them and i was wondering if you can recover them with vinyl, and what you would use to do so??

the part where he said bottom half makes me think door pannels but if it is the kicks why would u want to replace with vynal but if u wanted to some spray glue and the stuff might work

No no, here ill go take a pic. All the interior plastic peices like these that go along the back of the hatch area.

Oh ....................thats hideous I say rip it off and do something...............I dont know how well vinyl would stay with nothing to wrap it around you might be able to just take off the carpet clean up the panel and put it back on unless you just have your heart set on vinyl but in that case someone else will have to answer this one.

Yea its absolutely terrible. Im afraid if i tear it off that i wont be able to get the glue off it aswell...also im not sure if the vinyl will look good either? I recovered that sail panel with the vinyl and i already did the top half of my door panels with the same stuff...Anyone have pics of their interiors without that carpet on the bottom?
I have been reading on the Krylon Fusion and wonder if it would even be worth it to me to rip that **** off and paint them black? I'd rather it be grey than have it end up looking half assed 2 years down the road and end up needing to buy new interior peices. Any help with pics and experiences is much appreciated.

i dyed my carpet black well charcoal color .. so far ive gotten a ton of compliments on it.. its easy scrub it on with a rubber glove vacuum off the dust when it dries.. pm me ill tell you what to use.... i restore camaros as a hobby

The glue part is easy just pick up some 3m adhesive remover that should take it right off and it shouldnt mar the plastic either I used some on my dash and on my steering wheel and it didnt discolor it or anything

hmmmm Krylon I didnt have much luck with it but maybe I didnt do it right I dont know

and also does the sound still flow through that vinyl ok?

The only way i think vinyl will work on those peices and not look bad is if you made some sort of backing material for the vinyl that conforms with the shape of the panel it's for. Cover that peice with vinyl and then glue it to the panel.
