1964 Door Trim Panel Replacement

I just purchased my 1st old car. Her interior door trim panels are worn and cracked in the armrest area. I am looking for recommendations for replacement door trim panels. I do not want the bath tub liner. I want to retain the OEM feel (vinyl wrapped) and look (light blue code 52). Where should I look for replacement parts? Do I need to replace my metal trim and lower carpet?

I see some sites that offer replacement panels in black or white, but I worry about paint adhesion to soft vinyl. Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with this?

My quarter trim panels are in good shape. I hope the replacement parts will match reasonably well.

Other than reproduction door panels, your only other option would be to send your door panels to a place like Just Dashes in California. They do Concours restoration on interior parts , but also charge accordingly. Unless you can find an upolstery shop that can do the work ???? I've seen a few attemps and I'm not impressed . A company called Original Interiors also found on the web deals in original interior materials , check them out regards Ian .
