Background
The dreaded soft-touch coating has a silver lining: most of the plastic must be chemically cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and repainted and this opens up interior color choices.
Plastic paint options
Rustoleum 2x color choices
Readily available spray paint that adheres well to plastic and doesn’t require separate priming coats makes sense. The Rustoleum line of 2x Ultra Cover 12oz spray cans fits the specification as long as color choices match what we’re looking for.
Fortunately, Rustoleum Dark Gray very closely matches the VW Beetle Platinum Gray Metallic color. Rustoleum Colonial Red fits our accent concept, and Black will round out the interior colors.
Gloss spray paint looks good on both smooth and textured plastic parts.
