Interior door trim fix?
Hey guys,
Some of the interior trim on my driver's door is peeling off/rusted underneath.
I am fairly pathetic when it comes to repair work.
Is there a fix like some kind of trim touch-up paint that'd work to at least at first glance have the whole thing looking black again?
Pics attached. Thanks!

Hmmm...that's going to be tough to do with the trim ON the door panel.
That metal trim is held to the door panel with little bent over tabs on the back side...see red arrows below.

Once you have it off, you could strip it with a soft media blast, or use a rust remover like Metal Rescue, then prime and paint.
It might be easier to just replace them with another set from the FOR SALE section here.

Looks like some of the piping is cracking loose. Try repairing yourself, then you could always look to someone else.
I pulled the cloth out and put in leather inserts, myself and couldn't be happier.
