The other day I decided to try and paint the lower door panels on Maxi. I had a fresh can of custom mixed interior paint, and plenty of time.
Removing the three panels was simpler than I thought. Putting them BACK was a bit of a headache. One thing I did while the doors were open to the elements was to flip over the two little "fuzzy moustache" things that bolt to the door and rub against the window glass. The driver side glass is far less "sloppy" now, but the passenger side is still very wobbly. I also measured the door speakers, and they are about 4" across. Something to remember in the future, as all the speakers sound blown! The last owner of the car mixed and matched the screws holding the panels on, and some were outright missing. Need to find out the correct size/style and pick up a bunch...
One can of paint just about covered two lower panels and two radio grilles. While not perfect, they look FAR nicer now!
