Interior Auto Paint. Car interior spray paint...
... is usually applied at much lower pressures because with a car interior repair you certainly do not want overspray!
Auto interior paint and interior vinyl car paint is water based and the paint needs matching to the cars trim by eye.The first stage in matching interior auto paint is to find the exact color by using a swatch from you paint manufacturer I use SEM paint and swatches.
A top tip here is to slightly wet the interior panel
. Then look at the swatch color against the surface — I find you get a match much quicker this way. It is quite a skill getting the colour right as there is no paint code supplied by auto manufacturers for car interior repair. Be prepared to start over if you have to. Be prepared to do two or three mixes until you get the colour matched as perfectly as you would like. The better a match you achieve — the smaller a blend area you need to apply. Right. As is normal with all paint repairs you need to thoroughly clean the area you intend to refinish — and do make sure to make the decontaminated area much larger than you intend to paint — It is not much fun discovering the edges peeling away from your repair - You would effectively have to restart the whole job from scratch just to skimp on a seemingly unimportant task! If you do not do this for a living it could take you another half a days work. OK you have mixed your paint. Yes? It is now time to mask around the area to be painted. this is not a pleasant or easy job trying to stick masking paper and tape to the inside of any vehicle but of course it is of primary importance you do the job thoroughly — I would also cover the seats and carpet with plastic and then place an old dust sheet over the plastic. That way any spills would be absorbed straight away into the sheet but would not go through the plastic onto the car interior. YEH, I know ists unlikely but you really will thank yourself, from saving yourself from a disaster. If something did go wrong — you would be covered.I use a small badger air brush...
...to apply car interior spray paint it's perfect for the job and can be purchased from any good hobby supplies shop or online if you hate shopping like me! If it’s all new to you just practice on a piece of masking paper to get yourself moving the spray head before depressing the trigger — you need to avoid starting the sweep of the air brush whilst it is still — a sure way to pick up a run! If you also practice the process being cramped inside a small cardboard box you will nearly achieve the feeling of spaying in awkward areas inside the car! I never seem to have enough room — but you still need that spray to go on evenly Simply spray a light coat on the surface to be repaired — please do not worry about covering the repair straight away - just go thin and avoid runs at all costs. Just relax and enjoy the process and dont’t feel you are in a rush. Use a hair drier on the paint between each layer. Interior auto paint is generally pretty quick drying and you will have no problem building up layers gently adding to the coverage until you end up with a perfect repair. An auto interior paint repair is not hard if you take the preparation seriously. Done it? — Go on ....Grab that beer!Return From Interior Auto Paint To Auto Paint Techniques
