Just painted my door panels.
Just got done painting my door panels....turned out pretty nice. here are all the pictures. It's Alsa Hawaiian Hues Firey Red, with Alsa Soft feel clear coat. It has a matte finish to it. I like it, it's not perfect though, it has some crap in the clear, and well, i scraped one part of it, you can't see it in the pictures though. I might do it again... because I am cursed with perfectionism...
I started out with my door panels already painted...but I didn't like it. So I had to sand off what I started with, then go from there.
check it!
Here is the final product, it's much nicer then the last thing I had. Plus I like the flat look.

The paint is really good stuff, it's 40 bucks a can... although steep, I feel it's the best spray can I've ever used. so it's not too bad, 80 bucks total.

There used to be the stock fabric there, but I ripped it off and painted the plastic...
The soft feel paint has an interesting texture to it, it's hard to describe, but I actually think I was suppose to put more layers on there, not sure, because it feels soft, but it's a hard surface...

Don't like it, I think it's a better and cheaper idea to just put red fabric there. You can even get perforated leather to put there, I hate having plastic anywhere in my car. How did you put your handles back together?
