Either way, black interior is what itll be. I had been eyeballing it and was really concerned with the finish. (didnt lay quite as smooth on plastic as it did on sanded down truck bed.) so i did sone touch ups in spots, then wanted to try some interior shines, its ridged so its hard to apply with a rag... But i had the idea of tire shine, and ohh boy, i have to say i will glady take credit for this idea! Im happy with it, and im a total **** OCD guy when it comes to things with my car. (finished products. I let works in progress slide a bit. Lol)

Here is a pic of the door panel after it got some shine on it.


And here is a closer pic of the same panel. In truth, it looks better in person than in this pic. I believe the pic above does it justice. I think it may be the flash. All the same. It doesnt look terrible. And once i get it all put back and finished, and cleaned up, then most wont be able to tell that anything has been done. Youll need a second look anyway. Unless uput your face 12" in from the surface.

Are you planning on sanding the crap out of all your panels? It may look better in person but bedliner has always felt horrible to touch IMO. Truth be told, there are interior parts ALL over eBay and Craigslist.

Lol! While i can see the resemblance, its not quite that bad. Stoll looks best in person. And if a coat of some type of oil base product is applied, and its deep black, and shiny, it really looks good!
