I got mine at local auto paint store. Local upholstery shops can help you also.

Diesel, One important step in painting plastics is the use of some type of adhesion promoter. There are many companies, I've had good results from Bulldog & PPG's DPX 801. The SEM works well, as does PPG's DIU system. On a side note, I never cared much for the body color metal (depending on the color combo) inside the cab. I've done several trucks where I painted the inside metal the same color as the plastic trim & then put flattened clear on it. I break the color on the doors at the bodyline around where the door seal is, so from the inside with the doors closed there is no outside body color showing. Just a thought, Lorne

SEM products is what is standard in the upholstery industry...if you do use the SEMs products, I recommend using one of the preps that they have...they have a vinyl prep and a plastic prep...they also have an adhesion promoter also that really isn't necessary if you scotchbrite and use the vinyl or plastic prep...

On the subject of dye- has anyone dyed the actual seatbelt? I'm changing my interior from a nasty beige to black & grey. Dont fancy having new belts shipped over!

I have. I bleached them in a bucket then soaked them in black dye. then I washed them 80 times and they came out pretty good. I painted the trim pieces black and they're still holding up.
