Krylon Fusion gray interior plastic

[1990new]

The plastic interior trim parts in the back seat and cargo area are scratched and ugly on my new 92 red Festiva.
I think they would look a lot better if I panted them.
I've been search the forum for how people have done this, but I need
to know what paint color in the Krylon Fusion paint brand is the closest to the color
of these gray parts in this car.
I need recommendations for colors which come closest to matching the original color.

Dragonhealer has a paint that he uses that matches the grey perfectly. I'm not sure what paint he uses though. He painted my seatbelt buckles and it's almost impossible to tell that they were brown ones.

That could be some powerful useful info!

Thanks... I will PM him and and ask.

Yes it will... if I find out I will post it here and also in the thread when I do the post to my project thread where I show the painted interior parts.

The Krylon Fusion would be great! If they had a match, as it is more durable than what I found.
RUST-OLEUM Fabric & Vinyl # 248920 GRAY

This is for the 90-93

Best price I found is by the case of 6 at OnlineFabricStore

No.. I could not find anything close to matching in the Krylon Fusion.
I checked the OnelineFabricStore but I found that Walmart beat their price overall considering their higher shipping cost.
I just ordered 6 cans shipped to me for a total of $35.17. That included $5 for shipping and 8.5% SC+Local sales tax.
Hopefully that will be enough.

Did you spray any kind of clear coating over yours?

It should be just enough.
No clear coat, Washed and dried the parts and let them get warm in the sun, lots of light coats as this stuff will run easily. Tried to get a "wet" final coat but this is difficult with this material. Cured 3 days in the sun and used a fresh micro fiber cloth to buff gently to a good finish with plenty of Meguiar's Natural Shine vinyl protect-ant. This left a nice finish.
Be careful handling/washing the parts, if they are chalkie, they will scar easily!

Thanks for the great tips.. It will be sometime in January before I get the pieces painted.
I have already washed them (had to us bleach/water solution to get all the mildew off..this car had a leaking sunroof and sat outside for over a year.)
There are a few places on the rear cargo trim that has scaring and also some chalkie places too. I plan to go over them lightly with wet 1000 grit paper
and then get them thoroughly dry and warm before I start the coating process.
I will take lots of pictures of the process as I go and post them in my project thread later.

Are you sure you want to do all that?
I know shipping is a killer, but I have an extra set of interior panels that don't require painting. They are remarkably preserved in the subzero temperatures that we enjoy here all year round.

Tempting... I know that well preserved trim of yours would look great in Rosie, but I've already got mine clean and ready to paint... and the paint is already on it's way.
I'm hoping my painted trim will look good. It was very faded and scratched up a bit but it is still sturdy and has only 1 little crack where the right screw attached it behind the speaker.

I put 5 coast of the RUST-OLEUM Fabric & Vinyl # 248920 GRAY paint on the right cargo area trim last Saturday and it looks good.
The weather had turned chilly so I will be waiting for a warm sunny day to paint the remaining pieces.

There will be a link to lots of pictures of these pieces and all of the work that I'm doing on Rosie when I start my project thread for her later this month.
She is starting to look really good.
