   I'm gonna spray my interior. Centre console, vents etc.
   Do i use grey primer, paint, clear lacquer? Sanding between layers?
   
   Or is there a better way?

   I sprayed mine about a month or 2 back and gone off it. Would i have to go through the whole process again or could i just paint over it?

   Thanks does grey primer work effectively? I've heard ppl use grey primer or plastic primer. Is there a difference in the result?

   Use plastic primer and its best to get some high grit sand paper and give it a brush over between primer and paint coats

   Use plastic primer or the pain will flake overtime

   The paint probs wont stick to the laquer too well, so my advice would be to sand before painting again

   Plastic primer improves adhesion and goes well onto plastics coincidentially. If your spraying over a previous job just lightly sand and spray the new colour, unless its something thin like silver or mango.

    I done mine with plastic primer and keyed the original part for better adhesion, the heat has caused mine to bubble !
