Det_Riot Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I know someone has to have done it but I can't find any solid write ups or information =[ I'm going to be picking up a black center console and dying/painting it using this: http://www.cjponyparts.com/interior-dye-1979-1993/p/DYE51/ from CJPP. My question is for the people who have painted their center console, what do I need to do as far as prep work? Do I need an adhesion promoter? Can I get away without a clear coat? If not what clear coat should I use? Thanks errrryone in advance =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 ^dam steve! das wassup dude, lol.@detroit. i scrubbed my back seats with scotchbrite pads and soapy water. rubbed on some alcohol. wiped it down and sprayed simple vinyl and fabric paint. i'm sure the stuff cjpony sells is better but as for prep. that's all i did and it's been a year still looks perfect. that's even on a seat.

joekd Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 When I did my seats I lightly sanded them, then sprayed the dye using preval sprayers (my dye wasn't in an aerosol can) and used foam brushes for seams or if I saw drips startingMy dye came with an adhesion promoter you mixed in before applying the dyeImportant part is to make a ton of light coats, do not apply thick or you will end up with ugly drips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4Mustang Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 The only dye job that I have ever done was on the center console on my old '70 1/2 Camaro. I used a rattle can made for interior use, but it was not the best stuff out there and it eventually flaked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallblocksn95 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 i need to do this as well...... 98 grey console is a differnt grey than my 95 was. having trouble finding the grey from 95 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Definitely look into dying one if you can't find it. CJPP will take care of you with the products and Det_Riot will most likely have a full tutorial to go along with that video I posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallblocksn95 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 i already have the 98 console installed, its just a lighter grey than the rest of my 95 Black/Grey interior. I havnt found a dye that matches the 95's grey exactly....closest I've found is for a 95 Lightning. sorry if you said something similar brian, its late and i need to go to bed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't talked to Steve@CJPP I would do that first. I'm sure he can find what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 The dyes and lacquer that I bought were from CJPP and were listed as opal grey for the foxbodies. The guys at CJPP said that this would be the same grey as the 94=95 so we'll see! I'm actually gong to be painting and stuff today so you'll definitely be able to see what it looks like first =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
