I wanna paint my Door panels.

Has anybody done this? I hate the grey doors and i wanna paint them black. Just wondering if anyone has any experience doing this, and if so what do i need, and how do i do it. I look through the entire HOW TO section, and couldnt find anything about that. So yea. If anybody could help me with this it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Door panel

I have painted my door panels as well as the rear plastics black as well. The door panels are very easy to take off. Get a flat head screwdriver and stick it inbetween the panel and the actuall door and pry them apart. Once you get one plastic clip loose you should be able to just pull it right off. There is only plastic clips securiong it to the door. U will have to pull the plastic panel up from the window to free it. Once that is done you can free the cable running towards your handle and then thats it. If you need a better description let me know i might end up taking mine offf soon, s o i could take pictures if you need it.
