Hi!
I need to paint one black part to match plastic beige interior color. Can anyone suggest spray paint to get a perfect match result? I will prime first to get lighter shade but I need proper paint to get it close to factory look.

Thanks a lot!

I appreciate this input but price is extreme. I need something up to $10 from USA. My part costs less than paint. And this is relatively small part.

How do I buy from them if they don't deliver to the United States?

get your interior color code, go to your local paint store, ask if they can mix the closest color to match.

I don't think it is going to work out well. I can't do that. It is not paint to match walls of the kitchen.

beejAMG

dont be a smart a$$, i know its not a paint to match the kitchen walls.

im suggesting an option since interior colors are not actually a paint you can mix. you can order fluro yellow and paint your whole interior so your sure everything matches. downside is it might cost you more than 10 bucks. bummer!

Well, I also need to touch up seats so regular paint won't work. In my understanding it has to be special formula. Volico is perfect match for that purpose but they can't ship sprays overseas so I gues I will have to try their bottle.

Im not being smart ****. I can't just go out of blue and ask someone to mix me a paint. Even if it matches shade, God knows how ot will hold up. Reviews and prior user experiences are golden!
My point is.. it is not as easy as touch up paint for exterior.

beejAMG

mate, if youre not willing to spend more than 10 bucks on a diy project, youre prolly better off leaving it alone. coz for that $10 budget, you sure are picky.

merceBENZ

I figured that it is not going to cut it so Im going to order that paint from Europe. No choice, I need decent result. No spray though.. It is gonna run me $43 shipped.

Can you not just find the part on a breaker's car in the colour you require?

merceBENZ

I'm sorry, I don't get what are you trying to say here. Could you one more time?

He's saying go to a junk yard and pick up a used part

merceBENZ

Well... I need to touch up seats and paint phone holder.

merceBENZ

In fact, last night I purchased paint from Volico since they supply MB factory with that. They guarantee 100% match. So will see. Guy was super patient in explanations.

Cool post a review once you get it. How are you going to apply it?

sailorben

I'd be interested in a little write up about applying it to the leather... My bolster near the stitching is slightly faded from black, so I'd be interested to know how you go about applying, and what your results are like.

merceBENZ

Spongy applicator like on YouTube video. Sales guy advised that too.

megacrazy

There several methods if you check youtube. I'm interested in seeing how well it will match. The color on the seat is probably faded and dirty...so I'm guessing you'd have to do the entire bolster at the very least.

merceBENZ

I don't know how to be about stitches. They will get painted too. Originally they differ.

merceBENZ

Bad experience. Paint doesn't match. What a waste. Should went with Leatherique. Let see how I get my refund.
I didn't apply on leather but I did on paper and it is obvious that paint is dark.
Don't want to ruin anything.
Paid $15 for shipping to my end and about the same will be to send it back to Germany.

just go to an upholstery shop and they can do it for you . Pay some money is cheaper than you paying for a new sear because you messed it up.

merceBENZ

I'm very upset. I think I will just give up that idea.

merceBENZ

Paint is 100% match. I tried under the seat and it is superb! 100% match! Can't wait to get it done.
