    275/70R16 tires, gasolina or CNG fuel, Konig shox, Energy Suspension poly bushings,
    My white 2003 DCSB has a blue interior. The door panels were painted blue over the gray vinyl, and after 15 years, a lot of the paint on the panels has worn off.

    I have checked out paints from Duplicolor, SEM, & Rust-oleum, but their available colors do not match my interior. I think COLORBOND could match it, but that brand is not available where I live. My local auto paint place said they could match the color, but they do not have a base for painting vinyl.
    Any suggestions from you paint gurus out there ??

    4 run, 2 don't
    If it were me, I'd just replace them to match the rest of the unpainted interior.
