I am doing an int. overhaul today and I got a can of tan duplicolor vinyl and fabric spray. So far it has kicked *** and drys very quick.

My question is How well does this stuff work on Carpet??? My carpet looks like hell and I need to replace it but I wouldn't mind painting it just to make it look a little better. Has anyone done this? how well will it hold up if I spray the carpet or sail panels????

Any tips would be great, I figure I should show a before and after pic to fgive you guy an iea of how well this stuff works. All of the panels in my ride currently look like this...

Before.

 

And after, i can't wait to see how it look when I'm done . I'll post another panel pic in a bit.

 

Nice improvement They look a ton better. How well does the paint hold up to scratches and stuff?

 

I don't know, haven't put the panels in yet lol. I just started the project.

I would imagien they are moderatly heavy duty to scratches, sicne nothings ever gonna be int he back they'll never get scratched asied from T-Tops but they sit in the trunk hole.

 

lol yeah update us on that in like a week or two. I used the Krylon fusion stuff a while ago on some old panels I had and it didnt hold up that well. I wonder if this stuff is better.

 

I personally don't like krylon fusion because it's to shiny, this stuff comes out the perfect shade and shine, semi matt finish like regualy panels are. Reason for re-painting the panels is because previouse owner painted all of the panels and they got scratched to hell because he used to carry and transport car parts in the hatch area so that explains that. I'm sure if i'm careful then minimal scratching should occur, this stuff has a different texture and smell than the usual rattle can paint, feels thicker.

I'll be sure to update in a week or so, but i still need to find out how well it works on carpet, anyone?

 

Here are a couple more before and after pics, this stuf works great.

 

and the after.

 

Lol, don't use it on carpet. The spray will only make the carpet rough feeling and hard. If you are looking to change the color of carpet without getting a new carpet use what they call, trunk spatter spray. Its a waterbased spray that allows the color to sink in without drying up hard like paint.


Oh yeah, after definately looks like new again.

 

thanks buddy.

 

looks nice, leave it out of the car for a week before putting it back in, its supposed to set after 7 days and not scratch anymore

 

Since you said its a Fabric and Vinyl spray I assume its allright to use it on ABS plastic since you did? Meaning the can didn't specifically say not to use it on ABS plastic, so it should hold up allright on your panels? And what about the panels original texture? Does it show through the paint? I need to paint my panels one day and am trying to find one that will actually stick w/o scratching and have the original texture.

 

I used the same stuff on the console lid for my wifes car and three months later it still looks like new.

 

For your carpet use RIT, you can get it by the fabrics in Wal mart. Good stuff, makes carpet look real nice.

 

RIT huh, thats new to me, anyone els ehave any recommendations? oh yea and I put ti all back together all ready and the int. looks like night and day, perfect match i just need to take care of the carpet now.

 

the texture shows right through and it leaves a stain-matt finish like stock, it looks great so far, I don't know about the do not use on ABS plastics etc. it says it can be used on door panels and the like.

I would imagine it should hold up alright to the panels, it's pertty touch stuff so far and hasn't scratched at all, I won't be touching them for a week so it can settle.

 

After looking at the speaker panel you sprayed, my thoughts would be that the color should be a darker brown instead of a tan. Any ideas on the color match from original. I like the finished product myself. Good Job.
