I used dupli color vinyl paint, actual plastic rustoleum paint, and undercoating. They all seem to scratch real easy. Between trials I sanded the other clean off and used water and alcohol to clean and then used several clear coats. It really is dissapointing to have them scratch so easy.

I used Colorbond from LMC......Looks good...But as previously stated, it scratches easily....Seems the dash is a bit tougher after it sits in the sun for a few days.....
also...>NEVER USE ANY SORT OF WAX/GREASE REMOVER!......It'll take the paint with it....

Its really dang irritating that all these stuff scratches so easy. My vinyl dye for the seats, the thing I thought was going to be the is the best. The rest of the trim all have atleast 1 scratch spot on them. I figure that I may pull a panel at a time and then use adhesion promoter and then bake it in an oven at like 200 degrees for a while. Just have to be careful its not too hot.

I used SEM on my interior. Seems pretty scratch resistant. I even dropped a few pieces on concrete before install with no chips, scratches, etc.
I washed all my parts with soap and water. Then I applied SEM Adhesion Promoter per instructions. Then I sprayed the color per instructions.
I had a lot of interior to paint being a super cab, so I went to my local paint supplier and had them mix me some SEM Color Coat, in quarts. Then I sprayed it with my HVLP gun. Might want to check prices at a few places though. My first quart cost me around $45. Ran out and picked up another quart a couple months later and it had jumped to $58.
