I want to do this but how would you deal with the 10mm or so of beige fabric on the door seal?

I am going to re fabric the headlining and pilers, and i was just going to remove the strips from round the door frames and spray them black [may have to re trim them if the fabric sprays not good] and spray the plastics a mat black  grab handles, centre light etc.

What glue did you use ? just so i keep away from it  :grin: lol
