I was in CT today looking at the paint selection that they have for automotive use and I was just wondering where to get vinyl and plastic degreaser? I looked around CT and I couldnt find any. I am going with Motomaster plastic clear primer, arctic silver and gloss black paint and Motomaster clear coat. On the clear coat it says not for use with enamel paint. How am I suppose to know if the paint is enamel or not? What grit of wet sand paper should I use when sanding the pieces down?

Any other stuff you can think of let me know.

BTW does anyone know how to redo 98 civic seats in vinyl or is there an FAQ somewhere?

best stuff to use in my opinion is TSP ( Tri Sodium Phosphate )


make a big TSP Bath, and let all your peices soak in it for 30-45 minutes......and scrub em down with a brush if you wanna be double sure all the grease/grime is off of the peices...


make sure you wear gloves tho!!

any home improvement store or crappy tire


i know that all of the Rona Lansing, Revy chains sell it as TSP in the paints department ( i used to work at lansing ) but dont know what the depot or ct has it as

Use Accetone. I used both TSP and Acetone when doing mine and the stuff that was cleaned with Acetone had better adhession.

Is acetone available at CT?

If I use the plastic primer from motomaster, there motomaster paint and clear coat(not for use with enamel paint) will that work?

its used for cleaning **** off surfaces..
it comes in a large metal can, near the paint section
