See comments on your other post.

Thing to consider with interior, paint is not reversible, dip is.

Also, with a cheap HVLP sprayer ($30 or so at Harbor Freight if you have a compressor) you can get paint like results as far as finish, use glossifier to add shine and seal with spray wax (also gives more sheen).

Oh,

Be sure to wrap the edges of everything you dip to prevent premature peeling (per plasti dip engineers advice).

You can always use the rustoleum peel coat if you wish, they have more colors to choose from.

If you go that route, I'd do 3 coats of plasti dip black first, then do 3-4 coats of whatever peel coat color you choose.

Reason is, the peel coat does go on smoother (typically if your using rattle cans) however, it is MUCH thinner and requires many more coats to get the same Mils.

This matters for durability, and if/when you want to peel it off, having the proper thickness allows it to peel off as designed.

I did this process on my Zero Turn Mower, 5 Coasts of plasti dip, and 3 coats of peel coat in Graphite. Just casuse the Graphite color is awsome and plasti dip doesnt make it. Other wise, I'da used plasti dip for it all.
