[QUOTE="JDwhite98gt, post: 698194, member: 10517"] So I bought a new center console and pad for the storage compartment from the junkyard and had to paint them black because they were a charcoal color. For some reason the paint wont stick that well and is already flaking off of the armrest pad. I'll list how I prepped and painted please let me know what I did wrong. 1. Cleaned all parts with dish soap and water with blue SOS pad/sponge 2. let air dry and also blew off with compressed air 3. Cleaned again with MF towel and 3M adhesive and wax remover 4. Sprayed 2 coats of Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter and let dry. 5. 3-4 coats of satin black Duplicolor Vinyl and Interior paint. I let them dry for about 2 days in the garage but it was about 40-50 degrees outside, so I wonder if that has something to do with the paint not curing correctly. Also where the paint's coming off is where your right elbow will usually rest while driving and also where I would brace myslef when getting in and out of the car, so it is a high wear area. Is this just part of painting interior pieces or did I do something wrong? [/QUOTE]
