Painting Cup holder

[Tommyr]

I am thinking of painting the piece that is the cup holder and then surrounds the shifter, I am just wondering what would be the best paint to use so that it doesn't chip off?

rustoleum has a line of spray paint specifically for plastic, but im sure almost any multipurpose spray paint will work, just make sure you do a good job prepping the cup holder

Krylon Fusion. Best plastic paint I have ever used, on every single one of the painted parts in my accord for 4ish years now.

I used krylon hammered finish. It actually turned out fairly nice looking, but I'm sure with good prep any quality paint will work out.

You could always plasti-dip it as well

most spray paints are decent. (i'm a fan of the fusion too) imo, prep is as important as the paint.

buy a 320 grit sanding block: http://www.lowes.com/pd_214278-98-3...643&Ntt=320&pl=1&currentURL=/pl__0__s?Ntt=320

and sand it lightly, then use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball and wipe the whole piece down. use many thin layers of paint to cover it.
