Duplicolor Auto paint for color and clear coat (Acrylic Enamel clear)
Wet/dry sand paper to get rid of the 'orange peel'.
Polishing compound and scratch remover for the final buffing.

Durability is good, except for the pieces on top of the dash. It seems the dust gets baked into the paint, so it often needs scrubbed almost.

I think like 2 color coats, and 3 clear coats.

 

I have an 02 SE Stratus Sedan. I used white, didn't clash at all with the tan interior. I do have plans to change the tan to all black. As soon as I can get pics I will. I used Krylon & clear coat as always.

 

sweet! thats what i grabed up to! lol yeah my car is amathiest (deep pearl purple) planning on going to a metal flake black in the summer! so i was thinking maybe a red/black inter! but am realy realy liking that white and orange! yeah i need to find a seal kit or somthing for mine! the dust from sliding the back roads gets to the lungs after a bit! lol but i got to do a suspention job to this summer so that will take most the budget! lol need to go to a harder setup! as she is old and low! and with the 12" mtx in a 100lb box in the trunk, i gotta take the speed bumps slow! lol plus its all stock so time for some improvments! but i don't want to spend a ton of cash! for all four ya know!

 

The White and Orange is House Of Colors , Pearl White and Tangelo if I remember correctly ... Yes it's straight car paint with three coats of clear It's on top of adhesion promoter/high fill primer

 

thanks! will tackle it this weekend and post pics thanks!

 

 

looks like youre in staging lanes?

your door panels look very nice. did you start with grey or brown interior? I dont care for the grey much, but Im pretty happy with my brown interior. how much work was it to paint those panels and such? did you just use spray paint?

 

Thanks!
Yes indeed. That was at Bristol Dragway earlier this year. For $10, I figured it wasn't too much to see how the boat ran down the 1/4 mile track.

My door panels started out gray originally. The guy with the Silver 03 Coupe in front of me in that pic turned me onto "Duplicolor Fabric and Vinyl Spray". Its a spray paint that actually penetrates into the vinyl, so it can take some abuse. I used the Flat/Satin black to give it more of an OEM look. I am very pleased. I believe Nate did the same thing on his car.

Yeah, I did the same also. Mine is starting to wear down a little bit so I'm going to be repainting sometime soon or next spring. Can't beat it for the price though.

 

I have slight wear on mine. I used 1 can on all 4 panels, doing about 3 coats each. It isn't expensive and goes a long way. I think this spring I'll buy another can and do about 5 coats on the fronts, as they get the most wear.
