Im working on a salvaged Z and have both black and tan interior plastic pieces (basically every interior part is plastic!) and am wondering if there is a paint code or specific interior paint for nissans that I could use to convert some of the tan pieces to black. I dont want a random two-tone interior, as it would look pretty silly! Any help would be appreciated!

I used Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric Flat black and it came out as a very good match for the vertical part of the center console.

For the door handles, was a little bit darker but still an overall good match. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info! So did you sand down the pieces, use an adhesion promoter, then paint? Or what was your strategy?

Parts that had a texture, like the center console, I did not sand or use any prep. I did use a wet rag and some rubbing compound afterwards to smooth it out.

For the door handles and other non-textured pieces, I did some light sanding then used adhesion promoter from DupliColor.

omg, i CANT BELIEVE THAT GUY DID THAT TO HIS CAR...

I painted some stuff in a previous car out of the car, fully disassembled, w adhesion promter and an HVLP gun, worked amazingly. completely durable too and was zero gloss. NAPA can always whip you up a perfect color math IF you cant find a premade product to do this with..sounds like a big process but it was suuuuper simple, and its not like you need a spray booth to do it.

Why don't you check this out http://www.dip-tech.net/index.html I was looking at their gallery and they do some great work on car interiors. If you're not into the patterns I'm sure you can get work done in a solid color. YOu don't have to do the whole interior, but I definitly think this is worth it. I'm waiting on an email from these guys so I can strip my interior and send it to them. I'm planning on getting my center console done in carbon fiber look.

I just painted my center console with Krylon Fusion for plastic. It needed no prep work and went on perfectly, and to top it off I put a nice clear coat on for extra protection. People ask me if it was a factory option. The only thing about this spray paint is they have limited colors, but I found one I wanted to use so it didn't even matter. I plan on painting various other parts of the interior now, just make sure you know what your doing (aka how to paint). Good Luck

....ah, this is back from the dead!

Yea, I knew quite a few people that have done this on other cars (including myself at one point ages ago), and it is NOT an understatement...Its gonna be 6 moths MINIMUM before you can ride in the car without getting a buzz.

In addition...if your gonna do it....go for the gold!!!!......
