cookiezoom Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thanks Codger will try this. Do you mean something like this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=165495&productId=173685&storeId=10001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Your Halfords says 'not suitable for upholstery', which means it's not so durable and may not adhere. Over here we have brands like this one which are for 'car seats, door panels' etc. Wide range of colors. They work very well but again - test anything you get. https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-248919-Automotive-11-Ounce-Fabric/dp/B003CT4ASE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493814442&sr=8-1&keywords=vinyl+spray+paint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rust Oleum is to be found in the UK....mostly on e-bay. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I doubt Mr C but just never heard of it I'd of thought that the Halfords paint would've been okay. As I'm not painting leather or upholstery. It is a kind of vinyl which is flexible.

As Mr C points out....Rust Oleum has higher adhesion properties...so...whether your going to paint the whole seat...or just pick out panels or stitching...I would use it happily Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiezoom Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Struggling to find Rust Oleum in the uk to be honest. Checked eBay and they similar but not that precise one http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/FLEXIBLE-FABRIC-PAINT-BLACK-RUST-OLEUM-Toy-Safe-Vinyl-Spray-Paint-Aerosol-150ml-/161922026893?hash=item25b34e0d8d%3Ag%3ALdQAAOSw~otWdDWr&_trkparms=pageci%3A94b0295d-3002-11e7-85c0-74dbd180cf05%7Cparentrq%3Ace73896a15b0ab4d2996007afffe756b%7Ciid%3A5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiezoom Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Hi Ron I wanted to paint seating area which is painted orange to Red. But want black also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver911 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 E-bay do have Rust oleum....but the colours are limited!....black being the common colour. Did come across this....though it's quite expensive.....always the problem with paints that are designed for special purposes.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PECKHAM-TRADING-UK-CAR-VINYL-CAR-ACCESSORIES-RUBBER-SPRAY-PAINT-MANY-COLOR-/122017431678?var=&hash=item1c68ce407e:m:mQ95S2tVYC6k6JTOT4bDkSQ Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver911 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 One thing to be aware of with vinyl paints....they say 'flexible'....but....trust me....that property is minimal at best. For the Lambo seats...assemble front and back before you spray them to avoid stressing the paint Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codger Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Since the kit seats are vinyl, the vinyl paints should have both adhesion and flexibility. Over here other popular Brands are Duplicolor and SEM. They are heavily used in 1:1 to refinish faded dashboards, door panels and seats. Whole color changes of those parts are frequently done which is a cheap way to avoid reupholstery for some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_1984 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I've started working on my Huracan. I want to add some colour to the interior as the all lack scheme is boring and depressing. I've tried Tamiya paints, just a test area on the inside. Fine surface primer follows by yellow seemed to work ok. Sprayed in light coats of course. Now I need to see if the 'rubber' (or whatever it is) will take satin varnish to unify the finish. I guess the seats on the Aventador are the same material.

Pouln Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I would try some leather paint. That can be had in many colours. Its bound to be flexible by nature. Just need to check on the backside that it bonds ok to vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiezoom Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Finally got back to doing some modelling, it's taken a while as I've just been up to doing much since my best pal passed away last month. Anyway I've done some bit yesterday and today but photobucket isn't playing ball and it won't upload my photos. What I have noticed about this kit is the seem lines, there's a lot and prep part is a biggy to get parts ready for priming and painting. Something that Roy mentioned in his post, about the dashboard, I agree that Pocher should have made this rather large part in smaller sections as it's big enough to do so and is a bit of a bugger to separate painting of each sections. The seats of the kit are an absolute pig to paint, as you all know, and I just think Pocher made a pants job of the design. The seat I feel should be one solid piece but instead it has a massive join line which stands out like s sore thumb. Now im stuck in the 2nd page as I'm struggling to find piece s-14, looked everywhere for it. It goes on the drivers console cluster. I've tried to find picture on koos DVD but laptop has decided not to work. For those that have made this kit can you shed some light on what colour the piece is and what it is made of.

Cheers Hi Cookie, S-14 is a silver plastic part on sprue "S" which has the engine bay top brace on it (a large X shape piece) it is in between a fan blade (S-13) and a radiator (S-12) it is the dashboard clocks and is kind of like a flat angular half moon shape. Here is a link to the parts inventory with photos and part numbers superimposed the part you are after is on page 12. INVENTORY Hope this helps. Keith.

Think I've finally realised why I couldn't find it. I'd labeled the sprue bags as 'KO' numbers not actually letters. Good link thanks 👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
