Again, it is possible I think but you'll have a pretty hard time putting it back together.......

Wow that looks awesome.....
Did you use spray paint in a can or do you have a compressor/gun?
Once I purchase a house I'll get myself a compressor....

Wow!
That looks fantastic. I love my anthracite interior now that I have it, but when I was ordering I was dying to have more black in the interior. Yours is just how I pictured it.
All you need now is the spiffy caps to complete the look. I bought a set on ebay a couple of weeks ago and love 'em. They fit into the little holes on the doors and give it a more finished look.

Great work, can't wait to see what you do next.

I also managed to sand away that terrible line in the door panels....on top of the Y piece...I always thought that was super goofy as well......
