Auto Interior Paint Adds Value – Colorbond Paint

Auto Interior Paint Adds Value

May 9, 2025

A car is more than transportation—it’s an investment, and auto interior paint can play a big role in protecting that investment. Whether you’re restoring a classic or upgrading a daily driver, the interior plays a huge role in both perceived and actual value. And the good news? You don’t need a high-end shop or a massive budget to achieve stunning results. With the right auto interior paint, even a DIYer can achieve premium results at a fraction of the cost.

With the right materials and approach, even a DIY project can look showroom-ready. That’s where ColorBond comes in. Trusted by professionals and weekend restorers alike, ColorBond LVP OE interior automotive spray paint delivers professional-grade results in an easy-to-use formula that’s affordable and long-lasting. It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking for reliable auto interior paint that balances quality and ease.

Why Interior Restoration Matters

Restoring or restyling the interior of a car or truck, if done correctly, can absolutely increase its value. However, the key lies in how the job is approached. While hiring a professional can be expensive, doing it yourself can save hundreds—if not thousands—if you have a clear vision and the right products.

The most important consideration? Quality. That includes choosing a high-quality auto interior paint designed for lasting appeal and durability. Cutting corners with low-grade materials or cheap paint can ultimately hurt the look, feel, and resale value of the vehicle. The parts and products you choose must deliver both visual appeal and lasting durability.

What to Look for in Auto Interior Paint

Auto interior paint is one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make, so choosing the right formulation is essential, especially when working with leather, vinyl, or plastic surfaces. Two things matter most: appearance and durability.

Appearance – ColorBond Has the Look You Need for Any Job

The paint needs to look great. The finish must look high-quality and natural, not cheap. That’s why selecting the right auto interior paint is so important, especially when working on leather grain or textured vinyl. Some brands of auto interior paint have a heavy film thickness that obscures the surface texture of the parts, making it obvious they were painted. This is especially true on leather grain, or vinyl and plastic that imitate a leather grain. Attractive color choices are important too.

The formulation of ColorBond LVP OE is heavy in pigmentation, making it able to provide excellent coverage while being applied in thin coats that won’t hide surface textures. So, the appearance looks natural.  

Andrea A. says: “I learned about ColorBond from a mobile automotive interior specialist. I had never heard of auto interior paint for leather and was skeptical that it would work. But he had experience using ColorBond and explained it would give the leather a like-new appearance that would be hard to tell isn’t the actual leather surface. He was right. At the SEMA Show the interior got lots of compliments and people were wondering if I had installed a custom leather interior. They couldn’t tell the difference!”

Durability – Our Molecular-Bonding Paint is Formulated to Last

Auto interior paint is available in solvent-based and waterborne formulations. Many solvent-based products are touted to be flexible for use on leather, yet are stiff, which often causes cracking and peeling. Waterborne products were created to be softer and more flexible than solvent-based coatings but require skill in application and can have issues drying evenly and so need to be force dried with a heat gun, which can be time-consuming.

ColorBond LVP OE is a urethane-solvent based formulation, and its thin film thickness allows it to be flexible without cracking and peeling. Our molecular-bonding paint penetrates deep into plastic, vinyl, and leather for long-term durability.

Bob T. changed the interior color of his Jag XKE from black to tan using LVP OE. He says, “It has been over three years since I redid the interior, and it shows no signs of wear!”

Quality – ColorBond Is the Choice of Pros and DIYers Alike

When it comes to restoring or upgrading your vehicle’s interior, quality should always come first. It’s not just about how the finish looks immediately after application—it’s about how it performs over time. Cheap paint or low-grade materials may offer a quick fix, but they tend to fade, crack, or peel with regular use, ultimately diminishing the value and appeal of the vehicle. Choosing a premium auto interior paint ensures that the visual appeal and structural integrity last beyond the initial application.

ColorBond LVP OE is engineered with professional standards in mind. From the molecular bonding technology that ensures adhesion, to its flexible yet durable formulation, every detail is crafted to deliver high-quality results. The pigments are rich, the finish is smooth, and the product is tested to withstand the rigors of daily driving and environmental exposure.
