How much does a restoration really cost?

[Pantera]

I would not cover them as they will get hot in the summer and sag. Try taking the panels off the car and wipeing them down secveral times with Laquer thinner and or acetone and then spray them with "Marhide" or other interior specific paint. I have done seats this way and they looked new for years. This paint is flexable and will color the parts you want and it is easy as long as you have a spray gun or you can get it in spay cans from a profesonal automotive paint store. Just be sure that you use 2 or 3 light coats so it will flex and not come off. Too heavy and it will crack just like a regular paint.
