i'd appreciate pics and info like how long its been/products used/etc

i'm doing it on my old maxima which mainly came stock in either tan or black, so i should be able to get a lot of the trim and other interior pieces.  originally, i just wanted to sell it and get another car - but i realized that to get it at a point where i'd be comfortable handing it off to someone else, i'd have to put in time/money to fix it.  and if i'm putting in the time, i may as well fix it for myself and make it into what i want


The latest pieces were done on halloween so almost a year. I can put some up here in a few minutes and theres no wear on any if the pieces not even the center console where i keep stuff on. As for products i used a 400 (i believe it was 400) scrotch bright (its like a sandpaper sponge kinda thing??) sanded it down (i kept the texture on all my panels so i lightly sanded) sprayed 3 coats of heat adhesive (bull dog is what i used) 5 minutes apart then waited 10 minutes for the primer. 3coats of primer 8-10 mins apart. Waited 45 mins to do 4 coats of color same with clear wait 40ish mins spray clear (if u want to use clear) my trim that is red is clear coated but what is black isnt.


Also sorry if any misspellings its 5 am and im on my phone typing this. Will edit in pics in a few

/e also if u dont want the texture u can always sand it down more or apply heavier (and more) coats of primer

in your second picture it's pretty clear that the parts are painted, which isn't what i'm going for. but that's probably from the clear coat

for interior vinyls i've seen both duplicolor and plasti dip used without any prep work and after the stuff is sprayed on, the interior pieces look like they came out of the factory like that. just wondering if there are similar products that i should check out

all the red pieces are clear coated everything black in my truck is a flat(matte) black. As for plasti dip on interior I wouldnt really know I never had the chance to use it. But from what I would figure it would rub off eventually. ( like I said I never used it so idk if it would I just know you can peel it off and yes I know it can hold pretty good)

think i'm just gonna go with duplicolor since i know it works. can't find too much about people using plasti dip for things other than rims, and i haven't stumbled across any other products that i would trust

here's some pictures a tan maxima interior 2 years after it was duplicolored (again, i'm going full black)
