DAMO Regular Location: MELBOURNE Registered: May 2002	Re: changing the interior colour Thu, 29 August 2002 10:59 I have had a lot of experience in this area. If it is a polypropelene(think that's how you spell it) the vinyl spray will not stick. It will stick to ABS plastic. To tell the difference the parts are usually marked underneath. ABS is not very flexible and will crack if you bend it where the other is very flexible and goes all chalky when left in the sun. I've tried a plastic primer and acrylic paint and 2pac. 2pac was stronger but for high traffic areas like scuff plates etc. no good. You are better off getting some spray on contact adhesive and covering with black vinyl or stretchable carpet. I actually got my parts flocked which is a method of spraying contact adhesive and then a velour mix, which turned out magic. Hope that helped [Report message to a moderator]
