My interior is in really good shape - no cracks, no rips, but no longer looks black. When it's wet from wiping it down - looks great - but after it dries, it gets dull and grey looking. Is there something out there someone has had good luck with that goes on like Amorall (or similar) but doesn't leave that wet greasy feel and look. Thanks for the suggestions.

SEM makes paint for vinyl in many colors. The problem is cleaning the old vinyl so the paint will stick. Years of Armoral and vinyl treatments can impregnate the material, and can cause adhesion problems. If you do it, you've got to get the right cleaner.
I have used the SEM stuff with good luck, but I cleaned the vinyl something like four times. You also want to lay everything down flat to spray it, and try and keep it from drying too fast. Slower drying helps paint adhesion. You might consider getting an upholstery kit from 914 AP, Morphenspectra is his screen name, and you can find his products in the Member Vendor section. |

I've used their vinyl paint, acid etch, high build primer, base coat, and clear coat with great success. Whenever you paint, it's all in the prep. |

We use them for our driving simulators, which see alot of butts. I recommend using Scotch-Brite to 'roughen-up' the had surfaces just a bit. |
