paint interior plastics

hi,

I want to paint interior plastics on door panel, door sill etc

I used "U-Fix-it" vinyl/fabric paint. The paint sucks!!! after it dries you can scratch off using finger nail!! what the hell???

can someone help me and tell me what interior plastic paint is best and not cheap.

dupli-color?

thanks!!

Yes, that is the right brand but is that the right kind? Just goto Pep-Boys and in the paint section you'll see what we mean. My can that i have at home saids "Import Color" not " Vinyl."
I used it to paint the console, vents, etc. but not the door thingys...it works pretty good. Don't think it will scratch off, but then again I've never tried scratching my paint off for no reason.

thanks for the DIy but what I am trying to paint is the door sill/door panel/arm rest on the door.

what kind of material are those? are those vinyl? because when I tried "u-fix-it" vinyl paint, I can scrach the paint off using finger nail. that is totally not acceptable.

what kind of paint will diffuse ( total stick on) those parts I mentioned? and I don't want the paint to cover the OEM texture (leather like winkle) on those part....

thanks
