Use the automotive interior paint and clean the panels properly. Don't use krylon.

SEM Colorcoat. Clean the parts with SEM plastic/leather prep, or SEM vinyl cleaner. SEM Colorcoat is designed for painting interior parts and they have most any color you need, stock to custom. Your local paint jobber should be able to get it, if not you can order it online. TCPGlobal and other online stores carry it. You can find the color chips here---->>SEM Products - Catalog - Color Coat

Good deal! I would suggest still using the SEM prep wash to clean the parts first, it is one of the better products I have run across. Just fold some paper towels, soak a little of the SEM on the towels and wipe the parts down, and let air dry. Keep a small brush or tooth brush handy to work any spots on the plastic that have grease or dirt stuck in the grain. Also, when painting the parts, it's better to use several thin coats to get the color change you are wanting, rather than trying to do it all in one thick coat. On my F350 project, even though I found most of the light gray interior parts I needed, I still had a handful of parts I needed to color change on. The trim over the rear window, one of the speaker covers, and over the rear doors (which were dark blue) and one and one half of the seat belt assemblies which were tan/brown).

Parts original color



After 2 light coats



3 coats and done



Seat belt strap (before color and 1 coat)



Seat belt strap, 2 thin coats allowed to soak in and done

Thanks for the help! Im probablygoing to hold off a bit bc my friend did bring up a good point. If i do a yellow and black or a blue and blak its not going to match the rest of my interrior. I plan on changing everythin but the carpet and headliner. Atleast for now. Ill just use seat covers for my seat. Their literally spotless and id like to keep it that way.

Does anyone know of seat covers for the 20 part of the 40/20/40 seat? And the back seat of the ext cabs? Or is it going to have to be somethin where i have to go ask my mom nicely if she would get out the sewing machine lol

Before,

After,


Krylon, flat black, no prep, I'm happy with it. I did have to find a used dash pad, but it was worth it.
