Painted my door panels

[acolella76]

hey ....is that an idle valve control modual in your center console??

Oh, and the doors look great!!

yes it is, do you need one?

wonder how this would look with black sport seats..... im tempted

No!! I did this same process to my door panels last year and was so impressed that I moved on to my seats. Made them rock hard and after a few months they started cracking. You'd be better off paying bavauto for some of their stylish seat covers. Saw a set in person this weekend and I'm sold.

Edit.... Duh, you meant how the panels would look with black seats. Ignore above :)

Did you use anything special for masking? I have always wanted to do this, but was afraid of the dye bleeding through and looking like crap.

i did this to a pair of tan leather seats for a buddy... i just linked him here so maybe he will do the cards like that too! used proper leather dye...

That looks really good. It resembles the inside of an E28 with the black border around the panels.

Sheesh. I should start painting up my interior. Problem is, my interior only consists of cloth Recaro buckets and two door cards, and they are already all black.

I too am digging this, and will also probably be stealing your idea. I already have a bit of a black and tan thing going and shitty panels, I think it would come together nicely. Nice work.

[Suspence]

Need to do this terribly.

[JetGirl]

Very nice. My doors are blue and I'm thinking of blacking everything out.

How does this look and feel in person?

great job

[acolella76]

It looks and feels like OEM. There's a few places that could have used another coat or that could have been masked off better though.
