As some of you know, I been working on my Interor.  The sun had turned the light tan vinyl door panels to gray.  The vinyl was in good condition and the shop wanted $800 in labor and I buy the materials.  So I tried to do them my self. Use SME vinyl paint.  Got the cloth from SMS. It took 6 hours and this is the results. First photos shows the faded color. The armrest was recovered in factory color purchased from SMS.  SME paint was matched to the armrest.

Were your door panels the molded plastic ones and you just covered them with the material?  If so, was it precut and you just glued it on? 
I have the molded plastic ones and I am trying to figure out how to repair them.

Jeff,   Mine are made out of vinyl.  They were in good condition but tired from the sun. Just painted them to change the bleached out color.  Dave

OK.
My driver's door is shot so there is no painting it.
