SEM is great if you are coloring the same color and just want to make it look new. But if you are doing a color change there is a problem. I SEM painted my palimino Interior black. It came out great and the coating is very strong. But every time I pull the instrument cluster I scratch the SEM and I can see the palimino clearly below. I have the same problem removing the ashtray and if I'm not careful removing the seats I can scratch the console. It is easy to touch up one these scratches occur but its not like the real thing.

If I were to do it again I would probably try a dye first and then the SEM on top, hopefully to get some depth to the color.
