What did you use for paint/dye?

I used paint no dye. Got it from Kolor Korrect. Its an Osis color which matched perfectly and looks great

I have painted a quite a few vinyl items for boats over the years and have always used SEM products with good results. Without looking it up, they have/had a prep product that I also used to clean the vinyl. I never tried an adhesion promoter though and if I had to guess I would look there for your tacky problem. I am speculating, but maybe the solvents in the promoter weren't completely cooked off before the paint went on. FWIW, I have had the paint wear through over time but never peel off.

Vinyl needs to be sprayed with Vinyl Dye and not paint!!! Don't know where that idea came from but it isn't a good way to paint those visors. SIM Vinyl Dye is the only product I will ever use when shooting Vinyl...cr8crshr/Bill

I used Bulldog adhesion promoter and Kolor Korrect paint on my vinyl door panels and they came out great. Not tacky. Maybe the promoter was too thick or not set up?

I've used Herb's interior paint several times with great results. Have heard of others being great, but specifically made for the material it's to cover. An adhesion promotor was suggested, but I thoroughly cleaned the vinyl and leather with a grease cutting detergent. Have used other paint products that didn't color well so stayed with Herb's.

I painted a set with no promoter and they turned out great.

I used herbs interior paint and it looks great. Cant say how it’s held up, still in project stage.

I've used different paint with adhesion promoter. A couple pieces seemed tacky for a long time. Fortunately, we have a local paint shop that can mix vinyl-dye.
