looks like you're doing a really good job. the previous owner of my car did it and did a horrible job. the door panels are broken, there are cracks in almost all of the small plastic parts, and he didnt even do the top of the dash... so i have a mostly black interior but still has scratched wood trip and a tan dash...

Previously when i used the paint on a old beater i just sprayed it on with no prep and i was impressed, the only way is chiped is when installation and it was hit by another panel.

Recaros are very nice but finding the right brackets is such a paint, try corbeau. They have bottom and side mounts where Recaros only have side mounts.
