70 Cuda Shaker Project-Interior paint advise-

[electros]

Rather than go through the trouble of buying a bunch of paints and testing I am sure you guys have some advice
on spray can paints that get the job done and look good without much hassle-I have all the trim off the car interior
and looking for advise on what paint is easy to use, low cost, and easy to get like Rustoleum-color will be
black-

1) Front vinyl door panels
2) Plastic trim, kick and rear seat side panels
3) Metal headliner trim pieces-
4) Plastic seat backs
5) Dash instrument panel non rally

Everything except No5 use SEM Black Landau paint.  It's as close to the original color as your going to get.  For the plastic parts you want to use adhesion promoter also and for vinyl (sun visors, etc.) use the vinyl prep.  It can also be used on the dash frame if you are not too concerned with it being OEM as it's very close.  However, there is another product that is sold, that's OEM but it's about $99 for a pint.  Can't remember off the top of my head who sells it.  Maybe somebody else will chime in.

I used the SEM Black Landau. I'm happy with the results. Like usraptr said, you will need adhesion promoter. I used SEM promoter. I also used SEM Trim Black for my steering column and dash frame.

I used the same two products on my car, with adhesion promoter.

Is the adhesion promotor a rub on liquid or a spray on and let dry or rub on as well? What about for metal pieces?

Can you guys help with TA radial size for me to install on this 70 Cuda?  My Rallys are 15" and I think the same size front and back either 7 or 8"-would
like a beefy look for the tires but not to big-

SEM Landau Black for all the plastic parts.(use the adhesion promoter)  SEM Trim Black for the metal parts.

The Adhesion Promoter is a spray just like the paint.  Make sure to clean the parts VERY good before hand.  Use the Adhesion Promoter per the instructions and then follow with "light" coats of the Landau Black.

If you go with SEM products just follow the directions on the back of the cans. You can also call their tech line if needed, they are very helpful. I started off with SEM soap, which is a gel. This will remove all the grease and wax. I stayed with all SEM products because I figured they were made to work together. Plus I didn't want any issues.

The paint feels fine. I didn't notice a difference from the original. It's held up so far, but I do baby my car. I don't think it's as durable as the original though.

I need to change the upper window felts or rubber on chrome trim that go on the top door panel-will new parts slip on and be tightly attached or is a glue needed to help hold it in place-
