needing door panels
Where can I find new door panels for my 92 F150 XLT? I've looked at an LMC catalog but they didnt have any listed for 92-96. All they have is an Anti rattle kit but no panels. Also Im looking to change the color of my interior. What is a good way to change the color of the plastic pieces, can i paint or dye them?

Two used on ebay:

Don't know if those are the right color/condition.
And yes you can spray paint the plastic panels if you want; I have done this before. Be sure to use a primer. Here's some pics of a brown cupholder that I spray painted to match my gray interior:

But be aware that you most likely will not get the same smooth texture that you had before the spray paint. Mine is pretty gritty, although I sprayed mine outside so it's probably dust/dirt from the wind blowing.

Two things to do before putting on the finish coat......First CLEAN.....I learned the hard way that it doesn't pay to try to just wipe it down and paint. Use a brush to get the little grooves clean and rinse really good.
Second there is a plastic/vinyl adhesion product in the spray cans. Use it as a primer coat. It really makes a difference in the finish coat not chipping off.
I use the vinyl/plastic paint sold in all parts stores and it works pretty well. Looks great after you get it done.
Good Luck

Yes eBay is a good place for interior or take a cruise looking for one to get parts off of. I usually have enough parts trucks to swap a complete interior. But just clean your panels really well as described. They will hold up great except door panels the arm rest and top of panel by window take most abuse good luck
