Has anyone painted the stock black inserts in the door panel? I am tempted to buy some from another website, would rather try on my own to save $ for other things I want to update.

If you do a search using the terms "door panel insert" or other similar combinations, I expect you will find some photo's of painted door panel inserts.

I have them, not sure where my pictures are of them. they are painted to match my car

Here is a picture of another yellow car with the inserts

I would not paint the door panel. The insert is the way to go if they are still available

as far as the spray chrome, I have heard of some trying to use it, but have not heard of any quality results

The interior work on this is incredible, flames are so 3d. Would like to do something like this on mine someday.

I did like the chromed Radio Bezel, now I might have to check into that

Another option to chrome paint is to go with the real deal chrome. I had my door panel inserts and radio bezel metal triple plated. There aren't a lot of chromers that will do plastic/fiberglass parts. The results are great and will last.

John,

Are you speaking of the door handles and bezels or the "triangle" relief that is embossed into the door panel itself?

If you are talking about the triangle shaped piece, that is a part of the door skin and I agree with what Larry said
get the inserts and paint & install them. If anyone has a set... PLEASE let me know, I've been wanting to get a pair.

If you are talking about the door handle pulls and releases and vent bezels, they can be painted (by MDProwler - Gary for example) or what I did was use a sheet of vinyl that is used for vector cut signs/auto decals and apply it directly to those pieces. Everyone thinks they are painted and I can always change it out if I want something new or if they get damaged. I was going to paint a new set originally, but we couldn't figure out at the time how to get the vents out without damaging the dash.
