Fortunately I am in the business and know the guys at SEM I was able to discuss with them during SEMA last year some of the points and steps to re color interior panels to come to a surprise that there are 4 steps to "properly" color the interior with SEM products. I know that some have gone over painting interior panels with different brands so I thought that I would include the 4 step process with SEM products on my recent center console project.
1. Cleaning of the product with SEM soap 39362 and a RED Scotch Brite. It calls for Grey, but I had some scuffs and heavy dirt build up so I needed some cleaning action.
2. Application of Plastic and Leather Prep SEM 38353
3. Application of Plastic Adhesion Promoter SEM 39863
4. Painting with SEM Color Coat
First step is to use sem soap liberallly and clean the items with the scotch brite until no "beading' occurrs during rinsing.
If there is "beading" armor all, dash products, etc are still present on the surface and you must apply more soap and keep cleaning.
I had this issue and kept cleaning until water laid on the surface and needed compressed air to force dry.
Shown cleaning the seat backs as I forgot to take pictures of scrubbing the console pieces....
