    Nice find! I could have used that when I refinished my interior panels. Thanks.

    I don't recall if I did, though. :slap: It's like meeting an old girlfriend after she dyes her hair (all of it :evilsmile:). :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

    I never dated a neon-haired gal, and I don't have pics to prove it.:evilsmile:

    Anyway, the only other trick I heard about to retexture a plastic panel what to use cheescloth (they come in different thread counts (more = finer), and dab the paint before it dries. This product does a much nicer job.

    Thanks for the tip. I attempted to repair my back cargo area cover a while back using Krylon texture spray, but I wasn't happy with the results. I may give this a try. :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Thanks for the link. That looks like it should work well.
    My rear cargo panels are going to need some serious help.

    Wonder how this works under paint? Since they dont seem to offer the various colors we would need for interiors. It looks like a great solution if it paints well.

    The article says it can be top coated with any paint.
    Not having used it, my concern would be if it would fill in with paint leveling.

    I think painting technique would be the key. Very light mist coats.
