Looking at spraying mine but think they maybe too far gone. Has anyone done it? What paint did you use and what was the out come like?

Not my door cards but not far different. I sprayed my dash plastic and top rail with black Plastikote and it turned out brilliantly. Gives a nice finish that doesn't look out of place in a Defender

Ive just cleaned all the dash up today with some dash cleaner and its brought it up well.
Door cards are little less to be desired.
@thewolf Did you use any lacquer or just plastikote?

Did mine, tried washing and jet washing but in the end I bought some spray paint from halfords and I was so chuffed I did the rear door too.
Then went back and bought some black and did the cubby box lid.

Edit
Here's the stuff

Some years ago I tried cleaning the mud/water level off my door cards, not very successfull I must say. Thought about paint, then thought "sod it - it's like dents in the wings - honorable battle scars".

Just a couple of coats of Plastikote. You could lacquer over the top if you wanted but it's probably unnecessary
