Re: Painting interior door panels.
Painting interior panels is only intended for show cars that are garaged etc.
9 times out of 10 it just flakes off with hot sun and daily driver use. Trust me ive seen it before.

Re: Painting interior door panels.
I painted mine about 4 years ago and regretted it since, there's nothing nicer then original or carbon fiber. I need to find some time to get some turps and strip it off
