Hey Cranium-bro,
(couldn't resist) You said you brought them to your paint guy and he had them color matched. What type of paint did he use? If I go to my paint guy, what should I tell him/them. And since I keep my car 'new smell' clean, what products do you use to clean them?
so i bought my paint. i begin my project at 6 tonight. i will post pics of the finished results, as well as giving a how to on the project. i will let you guys know how it comes out.

What kind of paint did you buy? try to get some shots durring the process.
ok so i am finished for the most part with my project. i still have a few small things to do (i.e. glove box). but for the most part it came out good. it took from around 6 30 until 930 or so. starting and stopping some. i will post a how to on it....but that will have to wait until tomorrow. (whew, im bushed). anyway, here are links to the pics, since i cant directly load them here (dont know why though.) drivers door full view 2 full view w/ door panels pass. door
now keep in mind that i still have a little painting to do. also remember that it is night in those pics and the flash of the camera is making the blue seem lighter. the blue is actually close in color to my rims. anyway let me know what you guys think.
later
i just used a all purpose interior exterior paint from home depot. cost 1.79 per can, and i did all of that with the one can and still have some left. i sanded the pieces first with 600 grit wet/dry sand paper and used a primer. after the 2 coats of primer i started painting.
cool deal...spray paint, right?. since I'm asking you alot of questions....What kind of primer did you use? and should I use top coat or will that be too glossy?
i used a medium gray primer. i dont remember the name on the can, but i found it at auto zone, 2 cans for 3.99. and i may put a clear top coat on it today. i am just concerned about chipping the paint getting the pieces out again. np about all of the questions. we are all here to learn from each other
