It’s all in the prep ! Just like painting , if you want good results, you must work for them . Awesome job looks greatI have used and am still using Colorbond LVP bought from LMC. I have done the entity of the headliner trim and all the window trim. I am converting my all smurf blue Suburban to a blazer grey interior. The colorbond is amazing stuff. Spendy...but worth it, in my opinion. I have used 4 cans so far to do all the interior trim and now and doing the door panels.
I washed / cleaned all the parts with greased lightning first to remove any dirt / grease / grime. Then I wiped down the entire painting surface with 100% rubbing alcohol on a lint free rag. I have used 2 coats on each panel and when dry; you cannot tell that they were “painted”. It is painstaking but rewarding. Here is a of the pic of the progress.
I cannot more highly recommend the colorbond lvp product.

Look great!prep is the key to a good durable job!
Could help for sure. Be very cautious of stronger solvents on different surfaces. I’d test an inconspicuous area first.I would add one more step to the process and clear coat the parts. I painted most of my interior 7 years ago. It lasted pretty good except the top of the door panels. Heat and arm sweat does a number on them. I 'm thinking the clear coat will help.
So used some SEM on my carpet and velour looking door panels. Happy with results. Bonds well to the vinyl piping on the carpeted panels.
Question is how well does SEM bond to say 2k primer or steel surfaces?
Unsure yet, all my plastic in the cab is good and don’t want to paint it. But a couple of the roof trim pieces are steel and starting to rust.
Going to be a connundrum of non matching color parts unless I can at least do the A&B pillar trim (metal and plastic) the “same” color.
