like the title says i need to touch up my interior its all in perfect condition nothings scratched or anything its just dull faded plastic...... i was wondering if i could paint the dash and stuff? or would that not work also can u tell me what i use if i can use paint ty =)

Why not give it a good cleaning with some Armour All. I think they carry the stuff to revitalize the dash board and seats and so on. I'm pretty sure you can paint certain parts, I've seen it on other vehicles including all sorts of different Suzuki models. The tough part is what paint to use....I would imagine ordinary spray paint would do.
This past summer I used some regular yellow anti rust spray paint to repaint my dipstick handle, oil filler cap and AT dipstick handle under the hood. The effect was great! Plus is makes it easier to see in low light conditions.

If you go to a parts store, they make a dye for moldings and dash. Ive used it on another vehicle and it worked fine.

i was gunna get the revitalize stuff but its blue and id kinda like black....so i was hoping spray paint or something would work
-
Cheap spray paint can flake off after some
time, I found some "top dressing" for vinyl
car tops, it comes in black,(spray)and it's flexible
and is like a plastic, might work for interior
plastic parts, if you only need/want black.
Perhaps if you need other colors, vinyl spray
paint/dye could be found. ???
-
With the dye you can make it any color you want. ;)

is this dye gunna be hard? easy? is it like a spray or a rub on thing? if its rub on that would be good because i wouldnt have to take the dash out
o can i also use that for the steering wheel? i have a cover for where ur hands go also can i use the vynil spray for the door handels? im kinda slow at this do it right stuff lol normally i would have just coated it in a heavy dose of rattle can black lol
-
The stuff I'm thinking of is a spray, and
I would say no to the steering wheel and
the door handles, as the stuff will wear off
and look ugly.
Hawks aluminum door handles will look better
but the $$ :-/ kind of high I thought
-
i dont really want to spend money on the doors untill i know what the final product will be i just want to touch it up inside so i can feel a little better about it..even when its clean its still doesnt feel clean u know i dont want to do anything to the seats because im gunna replace them..probably with my moms 01 grand vitara seats since she got new ones
the back of the car will be powdercoated diamond plate but i dont know about the rest........hmmm
