Thanks HF,

I've tried to create a comprehensive DIY guide for both interior painting and door panel removal. You can find them on my web site here:

Take you time, if you are going to use regular paint, sand, primer, paint and then clear coat. Be patient and let everything dry. If you use that SEM paint, it costs more but there's like no prep work, just paint it right on.

PS There are others here that should comment, I'm certainly not an expert at interior painting and there's lot of very helpful members

Thanks,

I've had mine done for 4-5 weeks and I supposed if I was to drag a screwdriver across the painted surface it would scratch but then again you'd gouge your non-painted dash too.

If you're careful I doubt you'll have any problems. Plus the clear coat allows you to wipe the surface clean and make it look real nice.

That damn plug that goes into the panel under the steering wheel is just nasty, no matter what if you put too much paint on it or inside the hole when you try to remove the plug the paint will chip. I just had my alarm installed and I cringed as I removed the plug and sure enough it chipped around the hole, but I knew it was going to do that.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to put the plug in and then prime, paint and clear. I might try that...
