interior paint

bigbrother · 07-27-2007, 05:18 PM

what paint type product would you recommend for the interior of the car, not the dash but under carpet and behind seat metal? I am media blasting soon and want to do the interior as well. Should I just prime, prime paint, some sort of sealer, what?

thanks BB

Self etching primer and whatever color the car is over that. Make sure it is self etching primer.

Por-15 works great, but whatever you do don't let it sit in the sun. Under carpets, inside doors, in the trunk is ok. Just follow the steps.

I am with CJ, I like the self etching epoxy primer, It's a good thing he told be about it or i would have a very rusty car with our climate here... not good

POR-15 is good if you aren't putting another color on top of it. It's too "slick" to hold another paint on top of it in my experience.

Only 2 products should be used over bare metal.
Epoxy primer, which can act as sealer as well, or self etching primer which should be sealed with a primer sealer before topcoating.
For what you are doing, I believe epoxy makes more sense.

I am curious as to the result you had with what you used?
thanks
