Re: IML: 60 Inside of Door

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

The inside of the door should be car color. Hard to say why it isn't. Maybe the door was simply repaired and not replaced. As long as it looks good on the outside, who cares...but you could refinish the inside if it you would like it better. 

I replaced a door on one of my cars and it did bother me, so I paid a shop to professionally paint the inside of the door whan I had some other work done.
