I need to paint my rear door panels, A-pillars, Dash pieces, possibly console and rocker trim pieces a light shade of tan to match my new ( to me) Denali bucket seats and door panels.

Im looking for people who have done this that can reccommend the best methods and materials/ paint brands to do this so it looks factory, not like *** dewey or peel off down the road.

Any info / stories are appreciated, thanks

its alot of work for sure. the one truck i helped paint came out nice , we used gloss black and it looked good but it showed dust badly and the a pillars melted/deformed with heat and being black and bulged out in the middles.

as for color matching with matte finish like our interior has is pretty simple , just use a really good primer , adheision promoter

with my a pillar i made( i molded a stock a pillar to a triple pod) to make it look factory i used bondo to fill cracks and autometer actually mads charcoal grey back when i did it so it matched almost perfect and came out a little less glossy than factory finish on the dash.

Thanks Chase,

I wasnt sure if primer or adhesion promoter was necessary,


Anyone just use dupli-color interior paint with good results?

I used the rustolem plastic paint from home depot and it came out very well on the true plastic peices. The pieces that are that softer rubber, not so much.

I did it years ago with rattle-can. Doesn't look too pretty anymore.
