Is there a type of paint that we use to cover the nasty sticky mess of the door trims and handles  The stuff feels like melted rubber that comes off on your hands at the minute  Has anyone tried the rubber in a can spray 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Do recall a thread where someone used plastic-dip some time ago

They'll be looking a bit tatty now, they were done maybe 7 years ago, but a good clean will freshen up, ask Paulk for a pic of his door cards. That's our old 'Turbo Weasel' he now runs. Repainted various bits a nice dark silver and gloss piano black, like the VXRs, looked rather good if I say so myself. Wore very well.

Also, if it helps, notice that the plastic underneath is the same colour as the rubberised coating - so it's always perfectly doable to just wet n dry/rub off the rubberised coating only. A little shiner of course than the factory rubberised coatings, but it's either that, repaint or buy a superior PFL, pre-MFL, with our non-rubberised switchgear.

SIR Philbutt, looks great, actually. Personal taste I'd have left the electric window and sunroof panels, but that's nitpicking, and as I say, only personal taste. Really nice looking job, and very well matched up 'opposing' weave of the carbon, too, which is a nice touch.

How did you manage that ? Was it heat shrank and where did you get the materials from

It's vinyl wrap, this stuff http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2D-3D-4D-5D-6D-Black-Carbon-Fibre-Vinyl-Wrap-Film-Sticker-Bubble-Air-Free-Multi-/381117191869?var=&hash=item58bc5ad6bd:m:mKFeosNCQWKecUybQl1acFg.

Looked up a couple of how too's on YouTube to learn the technique for applying vinyl, then after a bit of trial and error got the knack.

Took 3 lots of that stuff, still got some left over to repair if required (which is on one door)

Thanks Think I answered this before, short answer, more satisfaction from DIY than paying someone

Thanks also. 
I left the window buttons at first but just didn't look right when put back together, they took a few attempts before I got them right. If your careful you can click out/in the buttons which makes it easier. Closer inspection and you will agree they could be better though

Sunroof panel was because my lad asked me to do it. I have also done the little glossy panels between the doors, because he asked. He also suggested the panels under the headlights and rear lights, but have resisted that so far
