Suggest getting a can of plastidip paint of the right colour (you may have to shop abroad for this), some very fine grit sandpapers, upholstery removal tools, a crate of beer and make it a weekend project.

You can do this and probably the vehicle owner is the only one who will give the absolutely essential attention to detail on something like this.

That looks like a result of being exposed to the sun regularly. 

Another option is to cover the entire door card with rexine. Check the following thread .

If you want, you can use plastic primer and then paint the surface again, but the soft and powdery stuff need to be lightly sanded and that will result in the original texture of the surface being lost . Check page 2 of the above thread .

My weekend Project half was done....

attached pics are my work on the interior as of now.  Still, i need to work on the middle part and thinking of ways to do it.
because of the curvy shapes, it's hard to use leather for this..

total cost  for all 4 Dors
leather sheet - Rs 1000.00
Multibond Gum -  Rs 1500.00

Not Bad for Rs 2500.00     :)
