Has anyone ever used THIS (http://www.bryndana.com/) stuff? I keep seeing it in various catalogs such as LMC. Im thinking of using it to freshen up the door panels in my Blazer.

I have used a similar dupli-color product on several interiors

I have found that if you use a adhesion promoter it helps bond the paint to the plastic

also make sure the panel is clean than a mug, wear rubber gloves and do a final wipe with rubbing alcohol

I prefer SEM. I have not seen that stuff before.

I have used the vinyl and plastic die at home depot, can't remember the manufacturer for rear view mirrors, door panels and armrests. You have to clean everything really good with alcohol first or else you will get spotting. Everything came out looking like new. The only thing I had troubles with was trying to make a white headliner gray, the die wouldn't go into the seems very well without getting too thick on the high spots.

I have also used SEM products with good results. They have the adhesion promoters, clear coat etc.

I just used the colorbond on a pair of visors. It looks great, but they haven't been installed or used, so I have no idea how it will hold up. I went from off-white to black, and it covered with no problem. Seems flexible, hoping it lasts...

I saw the Colorbond display at NACE in Vegas last month (or was it the year before?) , pretty amazing stuff from what I could see. It looks (along with a few other brands there) it is a MUCH improved way to paint vinyl or plastics.
