Not a fan of painted door panels, etc. It will scratch and look like #$%% after a while.

Looks better than it did before, but I agree with Hardk0re, chipping will follow.

^^agreed

The guy that bought my focus painted the whole interior and it looks like crap. He thinks it looks good, I know it looks like crap. :lol:

Painting the interior is a lot of work but if the car isn't being used for daily commuting, it can look nice for a while.

It's when you paint the interior of a daily driver that I question it, too many opportunities for it to look like @$$ fast.

I painted the A,B,C Pilliars on my Focus and I sold it to drunkinmonkey along with the suade headliner and they never chipped or anything as from the door panels I hope they don't chip but if it does it will look like crap but for now I think it looks awsome.

P.S. Make sure you use a good primer

Same here, Painted the door handles on the inside and stereo bezel, gear shift bezel, and arm rest. The only thing is the arm rest faded from me and my elbow. But i just rub some polish on it and its back to glossy paint lol.
No probs here and the work looks good clean and simple not stupid and out to lunch the only bad thing I see is the sticker will never been seen because of the colour.
