Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Krylon Fusion : ENG Plastics

Did the Eng plastics with the new Krylon Fusion. Stuck well. Went over that with a few coats of Clear Enamle. Will tell you how it hold sup over the next few weeks.

Concidering doing the interior Plastics with the same color. I like it alot. this pic doesnt show the color that well.. Looks a bit better

Anyone tryed that stuff for the interior pieces?

Looks great Derek

nicely done

looks really good. good job

Good job

whats the difference? less sanding?

I wonder if that paint will be able to withstand the heat from the engine

I actually just painted my bezel with that stuff...works great and even better...right on the can it says No Sanding WooHoo!! It turned out great too!!

the new Krylon Fusion paint requires no sanding? WOW

sweet dude.

sicc

Made for Plastic and other hard to bond surfaces.

All I did was clean the plastic. Wil lsee how it holds up. Its starting to warm up here and Ill be driving about 200miles this weekend.. Will see how it holds.

and $3.47 a can at Walmart

On a side note if anyone uses this stuff.. about 3/4 of my garage has blue powder on the floor , and I jsut blew my nose and nothing but blue came out... WOuld suggest doing this OUTSIDE lol. I had the Big Garage door open and the side door open so the ventelation was good.. but the paint has a really powdery (Is that a word?) texture to it.

ALSO... when you start painting put a really thin coat on like so thin you can barley see the paint, then let sit for 3min then put first real coat on. Learned this the hard way.

thanks for the info

damn..i wish i knew about this earlier..i use dupli-color med. blue for my interior and it's all f*cked up..i'm gonna have to sand all of it down and start all over..wonder how i'm gonna do that..

What is that paint color code????
how many cans did used for the eng..plastics?? how many coats did you put on it??

Remeber this is on a plastic decorative part...not a heat shield or something that sits on the manifold.

it only took 1 can to do all those pieces, I did 4 light coats. then did 3 Enamal coats over that.

I jsut did my A-Pillars, Automete Gauge pod, Console Trim, Tweater covers, and the plastic part around the map Light. Came out GOOOD. going to do the rest this weekend will put up pics

I did my whole interior with this a few months ago... No sanding, no clearcoat.. Still holding up pretty well. Would show pics but laptop is not useable at the moment. May redo it and clearcoat it to make it last longer...

Ive enhaled enough paint powder for the last 2 days lol. Going to wait til this weekend to do the rest of the interior. Will get pics up then. or hell.. Ill go get some of whats done.. be back in 10min

First pic..

Second Pic

Its a really vibrant blue, Really stands out lol. I need to finish the rest it looks funny with jsut that stuf fdone.

Now to find that guide to remove the Vents...

nice job, bro

are there any paint runs? (is that right or paint drips?)

NONE trick was to put a VERY thin layer on and let set for 2min before doing first coat. I did Light coats and let sit for 3-5min between them. Set up very well. Only bad Spot I had was from the enamle cause it sputtered and spit a bunch out on one spot.

looks good - is the quality as good in person? also, what else are you planning on painting?

Btw if anyone is worried about the paint chipping or melting form the heat of the engine. you can buy a clear coat of ENGINE PAINT which will with stand heat of 500F.

You did a sweet job painting it but its not my color of choice to bright.. But sweet work

is there candy in the paint? It looks like it has a shimmer to it

omfg, i have the same stuff but it requires me to sand a shit load... why do you get such good quality by "cleaning the surface". Falkkor, tell me step by step on what you did

wow looks great

What kind of clear coat did you use? I'm thinking about painting my engine and interior plastics red. Just wonder what I'll need and how much.

no candy

All I did was take some ... (Fantastik) All purpose cleaner and wiped down the plastics.

then from about 12" sprayed a SUPER light coat on the peices.. so the piece looked speckeld. Let sit for about 5minutes then did a very light coat. after the first coat the old gray was still showing throught a lot.. start with a SUPER light coat, then a light coat, let set for 5-10 then start putting on normal coats. Jsut take your time and do it light.

I used jsut plain ol. Rustoleum Enamle + Protectant for hte clear coat.

Looks great in person. I messed up on about 1sq" on the Gauge cluster trim cause I started rushing it DONT RUSH !!!!

Im going to paint the rest of the trims I can, Bezel, Power mirror trim, vents, ect ect. And get teh blue Inserts for hte doors. I really liekd this bright blue It really stands out and looks great in person. Plus the blue arm rest inserts look about the same color.

BTW.. sorry. 2 cans of Krylon Fusion paint did all the engine (4 normal coats) Both Apillars, Tweeters, Gauge cluster bezel, MAP light. (4 coats)

1 can of the Enamal did 2 coats on all of it.

Total cost thus far.. $11.97

howd you pop off that tweeter thing a majig

Ok here we go.

1. The stuff I used

For Engine and Interior. took a total of 3 cans of paint and 2 clear coats

First LIGHT coat

how much to put on each coat every 5minutes

By the 4th-5th coat

Here it is all done

all done 2

And the final one

Ok If you do this I cant say this enough DONT RUSH DONT RUSH DONT RUSH DONT RUSH!

I started hurrying at one point cause' I was worried about driving a half put together car to work tomarrow and I scred up and got a few finger prints on the stuff. Let sit for 2hours after putting enamal on atleast before handeling. You will thank me later for not rushing

Hope this helps

very good stuff. IMO, the blue is a bit too bright for me. was/is there any other shades of blue available? (the krylon website listed only one blue color)

thanks bro

I only saw that one shade of Blue Fusion.

they jsut had Primary colors. BLue, Red, White, Black, Green, Yellow

Well where I went.
Its a new product im sure they are going to see how well it sales then come out with more colors.

looks pretty good...but not teh best

Wasnt going to do the trim but really liked the color after doing the Engine Plastics. Its starting to grow on me. Really digin the bright blue. Now jsut need to get the Door inserts and seats lol

look good..i'm doing mine right now, well i stopped 2hrs ago since it's 12am over here now..but i got all the eng. plastics done, starting on the interior..

i use the same color u're using..i was thinking of the navy blue but no idea how that turn out..bought it at wal-mart too..took me awhile to decides but end up getting that blue instead of Navy..don't know if i regret it or not..so far i like it thought..

We only had this color of Fusion so they have other colors of Fusion too?

I hope I can find that stuff here in Germany! It's hard for me to even find good car cleaning stuff let alone specialized paint... Seems like it's a much quicker job then having to sand and all that crap... looks nice man!

Thanks, not sure if its considered Specialized. Can find it at about any store here in the states right in with the Spraypaint. Good luck
