they feel fine. you just have to put some wear on the parts to get them smooth. for example when i wiped the dust off the dash today with a microfiber it was like wiping a fineeeeee sand paper. it goes away in time. the rear seats and door panels and center console feel great and stock

In may of this year my interior will have been done 2 years.

I painted the dash, arm rests,upper console lid,steering wheel with the duplicolor since its made for fabric or vinyl. Then I used the Krylon Fusion satin black on the plastics.

The paints held up great so far.. the kick panels are easily scuffed though and a good enough hit will take the paint off. With that being said you would need to take the panel out and paint over the spot. easy fix.

Im not sure about the rest of you who have painted your interiors, but mine is not soft. It has not softened up any really and thats my biggest complaint.

I was expecting to see some ridiculous ugly colors when I opened this. But then I was suprised at how nice, clean, and factory it looks. Great job! It really does look good, very nice work.

Thats why i use the meguiars interior wax Ultimate Protectant on it 2 days after i painted it. It felt really grainy but after using the meguiars it almost had no grain to it at all.

What did you use on the rest of the plastics? Or did you do the whole car in it?

How many cans did you use on the whole car? And I'm guessing you used adhesion promoter also?
