The fusion plasic paint is good for like radio bezels and stuff that really don't take alot of abuse. I painted a few accent pieces in my cousins dakota with fusion blue, sanded the pieces with 320, 4 coats of base, 4 coats of clear... His never showed any type of wear at all and he had alot of complements on it... For anything other than accenting little pieces that arent touched much I would use the dye kiki is talking about.

Hey, just checking. So is there a place to buy this on the net

no, it's a worse option. that's why I suggested using it.

:rolleyes:

pigment dye? is this better then the paint

the paint wont scratch off if its prepped right. its the same kinda plastic some bumper covers are made out of. that ppg kit actually makes them stick really really good.

you need to use a pigment dye spray. places like YearOne sell it for refinishing classic car dashes.
It's a dye as opposed to a paint so it doesn't scratch off.

thanks.

nope thats what those 2 items are for the PPG ones. if you sand it itll release stuff from the plastic and the paint will flake off.

I can get a paint gun do I need to sand the dash
