    Painting Interior parts

    I recently painted the the interior of my car everything went good other then the arm rests in my car when it is sunny out they get sticky and sometimes a little bit of the paint comes off .
    Is there a quik fix for this or do i have to take them out, sand them and repaint them again.
    Thanx

    well i sanded all my plastic down with 400 grit sandpaper just to smoth down any scratches and stuff. then i used a plastic promoter that took 40 mins to flash dry and then i hit it with duplicolor paint that is for vinyl and plastic. so far i could tell that i did not spray it right so i will spray it and take some pics

    i've found that Krylon Fusion does not do well on soft plastic, rubber, or vinal. i had the same problem. as you said, everything else comes out great. i'd say try and match the color you did with some vinal/fabric paint. i'd recommend Duplicolor Vinal/Fabric dye that you can buy at most auto parts stores unless you want to go and spend $20+ a can of that expensive stuff they sell in magazines. using the adhesion promoter works great too if you wanna use the fusion.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™
