    when i sprayed my interior i thoroughly cleaned everything with nifty to get all the dirt and grease off, i also found my girlfriends hairdryer to be a most useful tool! Warming up the plastic/vinyl before you spray it helps the paint to bond much better, which means it won't flake off in a month or so.

    Also when using vinyl spray its very easy to just layer it on in thick coats, but thin coats also help it to bond better to the plastic/vinyl.

    I found that VHT vinyl dye is by far the best one to use (and the most expensive, I suppose you get what you pay for...), the Septone
    and Motospray equivalents just don't last at all, they are much more of a paint than a dye, and scratch off very easily.

    And white is an absolute bitch to keep clean!

    So this VHT dye stuff....does it come in a spray can or would I need to get a spray gun?
    I used to eat alot of natural foods. That was until I learned that most people died of natural causes.

    It comes in spray cans, and there is a fair range of colours available, but most of them are boring . try this link http://72.10.43.141/penetratingcolordye.htm it is the VHT website, you should find all the info you need on the product, how to use it etc...
