What's a good interior plastic and carpet paint? After talking to Banker today and seeing how his carpet has come out, I've decided that this is something which I need to do as I really hate that horrible light grey which I currently have. I've heard halfrauds stuff is pretty rubbish so I'm staying away from that. So what works?

Matt, what was your kitt interior painted in? So I know to stay away from that one as well :lol:

From experience, I used halfords flexible vinyl paint for some of my interior plastic and it worked fine! Was shiny and adhered well and still looks good now.

That would be good. It seems like there's quite a few different ones around but I'd rather get one which I know works (and someone else has been the guinea pig for :D )

Can you remember the interior plastic paint you used as well? Or was that the halfrauds one?

4 cans for 15 quid sounds good! How many did you need?

Looks like theres only batches of 12 for the black one. But the back and bottom of my seats are carpet as well, so I can spray them with it as well.

I've just sprayed the boot carpet. It's sitting in my garden at the moment looking a lot darker than it used to! Do I have to fix it with anything out wash it again before I put it back? It seems dry now but quite dusty.
