Thread: Dupli-color

Tweet

I don't know how well it works either. I know of people who have done engine compartments with Wal Mart (97 cent cans) paint and they prepped the compartment and sanded it like they would a regular auto paint job and it held up for a long time believe it or not.
As far as the spray can stuff I don't know. SEM and such places make paints for interior and engine compartments and it seems to be pretty good. I'd like to know this one myself.

I used dupli-color on my interior. It was puke green. I turned it to semi-gloss black with red trim. Even did the carpet with the upholstry spray. Came out very nice with no runs or chipping. It does smell strong. Got a little high doing the headliner. But I have gotten alot of compliments on the finished job.

Years ago I had a Cadillac and the seats were fading out (black nylon) So I redid them with Duplicolor Fabric spray. Right after that my boss came to town and we made sales calls together. He had on a light colored suit, and when he got out of my car at one stop his entire backside was black, from his neck to his ankles. ! I was too scared to say anything to him, so I just kept my mouth shut. He went through the entire day like that, and when I put him on a plane that night he still didn't know.

After that I scrubbed and scrubbed, but the darned stuff still kept rubbing off.
