Painted Interior Panel Problem
Painted Interior Panel Problem
I recently bought a can of Krylon Fuzion (spelling?) black spray paint for interiors that is supposed to "bond" to the material. The back of the can said it would take about a week which has gone and past for me. I sprayed the front door panels and it looks great. The only problem is that it is very sticky. The bottom part where you can put things came out great and wasn't sticky at all, but the upper parts seemed like they dried wrong or something. Anybody have any idea if this is normal or not? Any ideas on what I did wrong? Any fixes? Thanks for any help.

I experienced exactly same problem, but only with the door panels. I've painted the dash and most other interior pieces without a problem. The door inserts are tacky up top and fine down below.

Re: Painted Interior Panel Problem (300max)
ya same here. dash is fine but my whole door panel is sticky, bottom and top. the only thing that isnt sticky is the part that holds things at the bottom of the panel. I didnt use what you used beta but i used the same stuff on the dash as i did the door panels. very confusing..

I think I may be of some service here.
I love painting interior, so I've learned a few things.
1. USE A DEGREASER! If you don't, then you may get the results you all are having and/or bubbles. And don't use just any plan old degreaser. What I use on my projects is Construction grade degreaser used to take 3 year oil off cement. Even if you don't think you need it... use it. The results will really show through.
2. It may be your primer (which I hope you used and sanded like a good monkey ;-) ) didn't curedry all the way, which then carried to your top coat. (Not likely though)
or
3. Painting is all about the weather. If its not 80-85 out side with low humidity; you may get the results your having. Make sure that when you plan to paint, your weather conditions will be constant for at the very least 2 hours.
This is just my experience. I myself am a fan of Krylon, but you have to put on some clear coat if its a part thats in contact with people...anyways, I hope this helped.
Oh yea; to fix that problem you can try sanding it down (I personally wet sand for the best results) till you get to a solid portion of the paint, and then start over again. Remeber Krylon is for plastics.
