Didn't get a response from my old post, so I'll try again. I want to dye this panel black, but would like to keep the two tone gloss/satin finsh like like the green has. I was thinking about spraying the textured sections with the dye and painting the smooth with the same gloss black automotive paint that I used on my inner doors. Do you guys think that will work, or will it melt/damage the plastic panel? Thanks.

You need to use an interior paint as the same paint you use on the body will probably not stick well on the olastic/upolstered surfaces. They can make it in different glosses for you.

I redid the rear panels in my '68 B'cuda. I painted the upper areas with the same paint I used on the metal upper door frames. It was base/clear. I sanded and prepped the same as if it was metal. No problems. It won't melt unless you use paint stripper or lots of thinner on it.
I would use the medium gloss vinyl paint/dye that you are using on the rest of the interior for the textured areas. Scrub with soapy water and a fine scotchbrite pad and you'll be ready to spray.

Exactly what I did lasted now for more than 10 years.

That's what I'm going to do on my 66 Coronet convertible. I've never heard of any problems with it. Do a test spray on the back side if you want to be 100% sure.

Thanks for the replies. Makes me feel better about my choice.

Moparmike. Nice car and what color is your paint? I'm spraying F4 Red and hoping my car turns out with a similar color as yours.
