Good, I'm glad it's working for you. It worked great for mine. It stuck to the plastic and dried fast. I ended up using about four cans on mine. How about you?
 
so far i've only used like 3/4's of a can. but ive only painted 3 things with 3 coats each, but i still have the big pieces left, so im thinking ill have to buy 2 more cans but who knows, im not even 100% sure what all im gonna paint (besides what ive already posted)so i could go though 2 more cans or 4, we'll just have to see
 


I wouldn't have painted the vents, speaker grills, or the a pillars personally. Also not to knock you but it looks like you could sand down and wetsand, and buff some parts so you get the smooth as a baby's ass finish. Also clear coat helps, in multiple layers.

I know it probably took you a long time to do this and KUDOS for the effort! I like the main pannel and trim on the doors it just needs some finish work done too it!

PS the knobs are nice !

I'm planning on going back to the stock dark gray vents as soon as it warms up enough for me to go to the junkyard. I think it will help space out the red because it is too much red in one area for me. I wasn't going to paint the pillars but they were light gray and stood out even worse then the red. I wasn't sure about sanding the plastic down. I did it on the interior of my cavalier and it was probably just a poor job on my part but it was rough looking. 'Does anyone know of any good clear coats. I tried two different kinds and both made it look pink.
