    OEM looking black spray for interior clips?

    Looking for a hard wearing durable OEM looking black spray for interior plastics?

    I got a black roof liner a few years back for my e36, and some clips were missing for the sun visors and roof handles. I used the original ones just sprayed them black with a rattle can but now the paint is cracked and peeling!

    Maybe it's possible just to buy genuine black ones readily and cheaply from a dealer or ebay? Anyone know??

    Cheers!

    Plasti-dip is an option.

    It you gave the clips a gentle keying and applied plastic primer before the main primer and black paint, then you should have no issues either. New clips are cheap enough though - always a better option as long as they're not NLA.

    Would this work for sun visors and jaysus handles?

    Not sure to be honest, but maybe our resident detailing guru @chrispyfish can better advise

    HMG have a vinyl paint that you could get
    it is a specialised type of paint like what they use on curtains on lorries.
    It would need to be sprayed with a gun it is however not terrible expensive.

    Nothing else imo would be good enough for things that constantly get pawed. Cheap decent solution would be plastic prime all and then rattle can them satin black?
