Need Help painting the inside of the door's
Does anyone know what type of paint I should use to paint the inside of my doors. I would like it to match the color of my car which is classic red. Please Help.

I have done my doors. I used filler primer and then many, many light coats with Duplicolor paint from Wal-Mart. Turned out pretty good, but don't spray the fabric.

I can recommend SEM - use the Bumper Coater - it's exterior paint, meaning it's durable as hell.
Painted some of the plastic in my car, including the gauge surround, etc - and it still looks great almost a year later.
If the parts are textured and you don't want that to show through, either sand the texture off or fill it with body filler and sand the filler smooth.
SEM can be bought from auto body supply stores and some auto body shops. Comes in a spray can - works great.

PPG is a paint company (PPG, House of Kolor, SIkkens, etc) Im using actual BODY PAINT. NOT spray can paint. Im using the same paint you would paint the hood or fenders with. Its a BIG thing at shows now to have a "fiberglassed interior". Here is a PERFECT example of what this process looks like. This is a truck i shot a feature on for the magazine i shoot for. If you want it to stand up to the sun, heat, etc of everyday driving and to shine, you need to use a body paint. Ill have pics of mine in the next couple weeks or so of what it looks like in between steps.
