Turned out crazy good. Only half a can for everything I did. Still plenty left over.

$7.68 at O'Reilly's for the vinyl trim paint.

Looks awesome indeed, but how did you do it and where did you use it? I saw you covered the leather parts of the door, did you only use it on the sockets for the handles? Dashboard as well?

Just the parts shown on the doors and only the side panel on the dash.

You'll have to update us on how well it wears. Definitely an improvement!

Lookin' good. I was debating whether I should wrap the door pull handle in a vinyl like material that resembles the MB-TEX or spray it but I think I'll just spray it now that I've seen your results. It's rather silly of MBZ to use painted plastic on one of the most touched parts of the door.

Looks nice. Do you think you can paint the fabric on the rear shelf behind the rear seats like that? Mine is all faded from sun exposure...

Yeah you can paint it with fabric spray. I used to detail and we paint anything we cant get to clean up with a hot pressure washer.
