How to dye plastic rear side panels??

[robt]

How do I get it a different color?

i think you need to be more specific of what you are talking about. maybe pics or something?

You don't dye plastic. You paint it. Make sure you sand and clean (with acetone) the areas you will be painting really well first or the paint won't stick.

Are you talking about the entire door panel?

You don't dye plastic. You paint it. Make sure you sand and clean (with acetone) the areas you will be painting really well first or the paint won't stick.

Or you get what I call "fish eyes" and it will REALLY piss you off, because then you have to wait for the paint to dry, sand that part down, re-prime, and re-paint.

hehe, yep. I hate those too. I'll be happy if I never see another "fish eye" again. Or orange peel either.

Will make you go insane and break whatever your trying to paint.

I still have to remove all my painted interior pieces and sand them with 2000 and put a couple coats of clear...but I'm just too lazy to do so. lol

for real ^^^ major pain the arse

ill have to agree with everyone when they say fish eye SUCKS

orange peel.. thats a little more tollerable.

but fisheye is the worst.. so make sure u clean it well, and when u think its clean, clean it again. then clean 1 more time and spray it.

it will also help if u wear some gloves so you dont get any bodily oils on the stuff ur painting.

edit:

get this paint: available at your local hardware store.

Orange peel you can wetsand, fisheye you have to strip everything, treat it, and start over.
