Rattle Can Paints
Good day folks, I was thinking, and that's pretty dangerous, but I was thinking, since the interior of our trucks don't get a whole lot of weather or UN rays, and if I wanted to give my interior a face lift, would a high quality rattle can paint suffice? My colors are Rangoon Red and Wimbledon white for my year, and it's currently the color of my truck, faded but it's still there. If I did this I'd take out the bench seat, floor coverings, dash bezels and ***** etc, sand it all out and rattle can, of course paper and taping off areas.
Bottom line, is there a rattle can that is nearly as good a quality as the paint the pros use, for interior use?
Thanks for any help

On my 1967 Ford Mustang Coupe. I resprayed the whole inside with Dupli-Color Rattle can. It was that gosh awful Lime Gold and now it's Pacific Green which is a factory Ford color from a 90's F-150. So far it seems to beholding up pretty good.

I've done it on a couple vehicles where I had a color change ... years ago. It suited my purposes. It can be done piecemeal too. I used semi gloss and matt finishes as they seam to blend easier than glossy finishes..
As far as floors, cab backs, etc ... I like bed liner like HF's Iron Man.

You may be familiar with "Penny", the 67 F250 that was saved from a junkyard, converted into a highboy, and ultimately sold on bring a trailer for $130k.
Its an amazing truck. I watched the build progress through one of the Facebook Ford truck groups. I seem to recall that the builder mentioned using single stage rattle can paint from paintscratch.com to redo the interior's Harbor Blue (no paint on the outside since this was a high end patina build). The interior turned out amazing, though I'm sure that had a LOT to do with the builders skill.
There are HUNDREDS of pictures on the auction listing:

I have had good luck with custom rattle can from a local auto paint shop for a middle ground. Bring the steering column trim in to have them paint match and just make sure that you get them to provide you with a compatible primer and follow the application directions exactly. Get your right ambient temperature, warm up your can in a water bath, make sure the can is dry so it doesn't drip water, scuff it up, primer, light coat and wet coats as directed on the instructions, follow the time between coats as it applies to the humidity and temp. Let it cure nice and hard before you use it because it takes a while to harden up and scuffs or peels easily. If it's a larger and smooth spot like an uncovered dash, behind the *****, on the cig and glove box door or on the doors--plan to wait for it to fully cure then run it through your a wet sand and buff process to get rid of the orange peel.
