Door Panel opinions needed

Thanks for all the responses so far. I painted my dash pad cover with a vinyl paint that I bought from our local paint store. I forget what brand it is but when get home tomorrow night I will post. It is used with an automotive spray gun just like painting a car. I will try using the abrasive hand soap first and see if that cleans any better then the 409 or fantastic I used.
Big_John thanks for the link to that video. I might try doing the metal tape trick and see if i can make it look good before trying to paint them white.
Rustyfish, your panels look very good. Ive thought about that but want to try to revamp the originals first.
Thanks Again, Rod
