I have used cheap (hardware store) vinil paint on several of the
interior panels on my TR-3. Works fine. Sprays on and just looks
like the vinil got real clean! I have not noticed any pealing or
flaking problems.
As for the door panels. Mine were shot so I made new ones out of
masonite and vinil and glue. They don't look as good as I suspect
that the expensive replacemnts do but the came out real well IMHO.
I even fabricated the indents boxes (clove boxes in the doors) on
the TR out of cardboard and fiberglass resin.
If you want I could look at the can to see what brand of vinil
paint I used but like I said it was just some cheap stuff I picked
up at the hardware store.
