what about using dupli color? i wanted to do it this weekend. can i get SEM at autozone or advanced auto?

dulicolor is garbage for panels, SEM is made for older vinyl/ plastic interoirs. go with that. i use ti and it works great!

Try ANY auto paint store - Pep Boys and AutoZone won't likely have it (*might) but almost a certain thing you can find at a place that sells paint FOR cars. Try the phone book or internet. You will NOT love the other brands, you WILL love the SEM Landau Black - it looks killer and goes on really easy.

Even if you put on a little too much, it will even out and look great.

Thanks for the help guys! i will be holding off untill i can find the SEM.

i found 1 can of the SEM paint. i wanna paint the back side arm rest panels the center console and the front door armrests and pads. how many cans do you think i will need for this? i also bought some dupli color adhesive promoter should i use this? and i also got some Prep-All wax and grease remover is this safe to use on the plastic panels?

Test the Prep-All wax and grease remover on the back of something you are going to paint and see if it ok to use.
Yes use the adhesive promoter just before you paint with the dye and should be still tacky then paint.

Thanks!! How many cans do you think i will need to do the back armrest panels, center console, and front armrest bases and pads?

I would get at least 2 cans if you are using the sem.

another for SEM. There is no substitution, as long as you follow the 4 step process. SEM soap, SEM cleaner, SEM bonding agent, then SEM paint.
