Can the upper door pad tops be painted?

I'm in the UK and have the chance of a set of the upper door panel pad tops, they are seriously expensive from Legendary with shipping so if they can be painted this would be a much cheaper option. I'm needing them from the now Tan colour to white to match my existing but ratty pair.

Thanks

I changed my '74 SE interior from Gold to Black with this product.

I know there are other sources for like products but this one has held up very well for me and it is reasonably priced.

Vinyl dye, not actually paint, per se, is what you want.  I believe SEM makes nice vinyl dyes.  The prep is most important.  Hard to get out years of Pledge or other treatments sometimes.

Every panel in my car has been sprayed dyed and is holding up great. I used SEM on the upper door pads, lower door panels, seats, dash pad glove box door and surrounding pads.

Did you use the SEM prep spray also?
