I used a can of: Dupli-Color "Vinyl and Fabric"
seems to be working great on the plastic pieces so far, is that what your talking about that chipped (plastic or vinyl) :? ?

- Thu Feb 12, 2009 4:26 am #95900 It might be that you sanded it and I wouldnt choose to sand plastic I would think to just clean whatever it is your painting and to make sure you get all of the cleaning products and grease, grim, and other sorts of stuff off.. Thats just a personal thing not saying that its wrong.

What exact pieces chipped?

- Thu Feb 12, 2009 4:59 am #95910 i used simple green to clean all the grease and such off, then lightly sanded it with 400 grit sandpaper to help adhesion. the parts i didnt sand still chipped though. and i was gonna gut the car anyway (my DA integra) so i figured id try it... im grateful for the black Si interior in the hatch though :D
