Defender interior door cards paint question

[KISSMYAURA]

Interested to know if anyone had a go at spraying interior door cards in a Defender?

I have light grey ones and fancy changing to black, not sure what the plastic is and what type of paint to use, will most likely use a rattle can if I can get away with it etc.

Any advice welcomed!

I've read someone on here who has painted theirs. Can't remember who, on account of my age.

I sprayed my old grey ones black but the paint didnt last too long!

Have a look at Buzzwelds PIO, I sprayed a few bits with it came out very well! The finish is very matt and hard wearing so great for door cards! Plus also acts like a brilliant primer should you want a different colour or a "lighter" black.

Make sure you properly clean and degrease before you spray!

Well, that's a tad embarrassing

HA! thats why I was asking, I could imagine a grey worn bit showing through in a few weeks where my legs hits it.

To be fair I am tall so I look like a tyrannosaurus rex stuck in a phone box when I drive in my Landy!

Painting is not my thing, so forgive me (Electrics and Mechanics is my thing!).

can I use brake cleaner to de grease?, or do I need some nasty chemical and some of those paint sprayers tissues (panel wipes!)

Brake cleaner is a nasty chemical.

Could use meths DIY store cheap but don't start drinking the stuff

I was going to paint mine too, but they were cracked in places so ended up buying new black door cards. Let us know how you get on

True but its has good qualities, the main one being I have some in the garage!

Thats not a bad idea!, trouble is I am now looking all the wonderful toys on the Buzzweld site, I wonder how the Lizard skin would look

Vinyl spray painted mine, came out fine.

I did this, matt black I think. I'll root out some pics and have a look at the rattle cans when it's a bit warmer out in the shed!.....

I refurbished my black ones with Kiwi black boot polish, rubbed in well and buffed up followed with Glade furniture spray polish. Doubt it would dye the grey ones but worked a good trick for my black ones.
