arent the door trims and that sometimes a kind of cover stapled to the backs so it looks good..if so you could buy some more cloth/fabric type crap and put them over or replace the old stuff..

as for a paint to do it im unsure but we had a car in at work once that was just painted over the door trims and centre console and everythign that had started peeling off not looking good lol still wouldnt no wt paint it was.

done the vinyl paint on a bike seat and it worked really well so im not too worrried about that. the fabric on the trim would be a pain to replace thats why i thought of the spray option. i just have a memory of something that was on the market and they targeted lounge chairs, just cant seem to find any info. thanks for replying tho matatak.

i'm with matatak, just replace the fabric. it realy isn't that hard, just time consuming.
