Just painted my interior Door panels. I used alloy wheel paint because its much tougher and less likely to chip.

Maybe it's just me but i don't think your supposed to paint your hand!! looks good though, shinny

 

i wanna see some pics of them installedin the car.

 

LOL. Yea you dont need to paint your hand. Will put pics up with it installed. Just got to let it dry for a day.

 

what the hell kind of DIY is this, if you advertise a DIY we need the full walkthrough - did you sand it, what grit, did you primer your hand before you painted it!?! These are things that we need to know

 

sweet dude, i know a lot of people come on here complaining about those chipping and looking ugly. good work... make sure you let everyone know again and again and again what kinda paint was used, and possibly make a DIY, sure it would be an easy DIY but it would be helpful for the next time someone posts a question about painting them (probably within 72 hours lol) to just point them to your DIY. looks good.

 

LOL. Sorry guys should not have writen DIY. Ive PM Jared and hope fully my proper DIY shows up in the DIY section. Just for now you need 320 and 600 sand paper. Primer , Paint , Spirit, A clean cloth and dont forget to wash our hands properly. First sand with 320 paper to level out the chips, then sand with 600 paper to smooth. Wipe with clean cloth.Primer with 3-4 thins coats. Then let dry for 30 mins. Lightly wipe with clean cloth and spirit. If need be the primer can be lightly sanded down incase of dust settling during the primer process. Then paint with 3-4 thin coats and let dry for3-6 hours.

 

i think it might look tacky IMO

 

Ill make my decision when I see it in the car.

 

It will look better than it did before. I'm going to do this one once I see the DIY. But I'm going to search around and find a color very close to original. It will be interesting to see how it holds up over time.
