Ihave green door panels for a 70 challenger and need to know what the best paint to use and where to buy it? The best finish and the best adhesion?Also what the best paint to use on the a/c and radio bezels,with the correct finish and texture?And last what the best paint and finish for the metal headliner trim? I want the best and don't want to have to redo them!

The green panels where painted black with cheap [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] paint and is peeling!

Thaks,carl!

As you're painfully aware, proper preparation and quality materials are the key to a quality, long lasting result. You need to remove old paint on your headliner trim, and thoroughly clean the door panels. There are several good products out there to do both. Try doing a search...others will chime in with their experiences.

SEM, Dupont vinyl color, and PPG, all offer good paints. Prep is extremely important. Especially since the panels have been painted and flaking/pealing off.

should i use paint or dye?

should i use dye or paint for the door panels?

Dye is realy a flexable paint that bonds well to plastic.Not realy what one would call dye.
I would still get a spray can of bull dog.
If it is just a standard black,white ect. color SEM spary cans can not be beat. No cleaning the gun up when done. the Dupont and PPG dye can be made colors{mixed like paint is} to get the right shade.
Properly cleaned, sprtayed wityh an adhesion promoter then dyed will last.
The longest I ever had it in use was re-colored vinyl top on a car. Car sat in the sun ect. it took a beating and was like the day i did it.

I just did door panels for my 74 RR clean and scrubbed about 4 times then wipe clean with lacquer thinner, sprayed with rattle can adherer, sprayed with rattle can primer for plastic, then with my sparyed gun painted them with dupont interior paint, mixed at local parts store, all the products I purchase from the paint or auto store were for doing plastic panels, paint was about $46 bucks a pint,not cheap but they look like new, and you would never know they were ever black panels, I painted them white, and will probably do the rest of the interior trim the same way. one happy camper here, main thing is cleaning them,take your time and do it right.

thanks!
