Yep perfectly good for the interior provided that you spend a good amount of time on the prep and buy the better quality options. I've done the same on most of my previous cars which has always improved the often half arsed standard finish. Obviously exterior work will be a booth job

Looks great for a rattle can job, same with the Saxo you did  I'm hoping I can get as good a finish with mine.

Drivers side all done.
With both sides and the roof all done that's the hard bit done. Just the main boot floor and footwells to do then I can finally start to reassemble.

If the weathers favourably warm tomorrow I'm hoping I might have the boot floor and under the rear bench area prepped and painted.
In the meantime I've painted the drivers inner rear quarter where I had the new piece welded in. I am really pleased with the final result
And the passenger side which is still good and original has also had a fresh lick of paint
Almost finished doing the sunroof drain repairs too so the roof lining will be back in shortly

Aha cheers Gav, that would suit me nicely. I'm pretty good at most basics now but I really would like to learn how to weld for future projects, it's definitely my Achilles heel at the mo

Cheers for the positive feedback folks, I must be on the right track with it :-)
I've finally finished the interior paintwork, it feels like it's taken me forever but I can now start to make some headway refitting bits.

A quick couple of snaps from today's work.
Started off cleaning up all the small interior fittings/fixtures etc before reassembling.
To give an idea these were the gearstick surround captive bolts, I'd already cleaned the first one here
All done
And refitted
Then started reassembling the rear section of the interior, progress by the end of today doesn't look much but it's a big improvement I think

Picked up my first batch of parts today that I've had powder coated. Just a couple of pics here, I'm very pleased with the finish :-)
Just need to find somewhere good that does zinc playing now then I'll be a happy man, failing that I'll dig out my own kit again to do it (extremely time consuming though)

Agreed - if I bought an Evo VI TME you think he'd restore it for me!?

Haha you're damn right I would, I'd do this full time if I was spending someone else's money :-)
