Did this on Saleens when I was down in LA.

You can paint on 99-04 panels. from 94-98 Ford applied a rubberized coating on the parts and this will react to automotive paints, plus with the many years of Armour-all that have been absorbed into it, probably better off getting the 99-04 ones.

Also did work for Joe at Chicane Sports Tuning as well and Adrian at Stallion Auto Concepts. I think there's a few people on this site that have bought my work from 99-02.

Only use SEM Brand and DEFINETLY use the vinyl prep SEM offers. It makes a huge difference. Recently did a complete black interior conversion on an 87 coupe woth 95% oem black parts. . Unfortunately black rear panels aren't available for that year(newer 90-93 panels are different).

Now I'm not really a fan of non original colored dyed parts but with the prep and their dye its damn near oem quality.

Oh, you're talking about painting your interior to convert from grey to black for example. It's important to prep you plastic an make sure it is free of oils. Need to use a flexible primer. Once painted try not to flex the parts too much.

Most of my experience in painting interior plastic was for accent pieces.
