i have found that in my 2000 CE Lancer coupe it is near impossible to remove the fabric in the door trim to change it to a more suited colour.. so ive opted for vinyl dye!!
this stuff is amazing! even with a darkish patterned material you can turn it to bright white.
my door trims were the typical bluey colour with the blue patterned material.. so i am turning the material black and the rest of my door trim white.
all you need to do is take your door trim off. there is a screw near your dash which is easily seen, a screw in your phone holder thingy, you need to remove your window winder and the bit behind your side mirror needs to be pulled off.
after this your door trim should come off easily. (check the diy to remove the door trim)
i found that its a better idea to dye your material first because you can just spray like crazy at your material and it doesnt matter if it goes on the plastic, and you can then easily tape up the sides of your material and then cover the rest of it, and spray your plastic.
I used septone vinyl spray in satin white, and vht vinyl dye in gloss black.
then just cover your material and use wax and grease remover on your door trim, prime and paint. i suggest using a clear as long as it doesnt yellow your paint.
my end result
i also sprayed my window winder black and the bit where you put your phone black, and then the bit behind your door handle white.
it looks nice!
