Default Need opinion: First time wrapping doors and dying them.. *pic*

This was my friends nasty beat up tan integra door panel.. i dyed it black with some heavy paint at work (same paint used to paint frames and fender wells in the factories) and wrapped it with tan suede.. the rest of his car is tan/black..
remember.. this is my first.. cost about 15 bucks to do two..
ya.. or na

All the holes is where the handels go.. and the loose suede in the back was trimmed..

Its thru the detail company i work for..
I painted some wheels with it.. the paint is still on thw wheels.. hasnt chipped any where besides for when we bust off the lugs with a impact gun.. and we use heavy wheel cleaner to clean them and it doesnt effect it..
I dont know where they buy it from.. but its so thick when we get it we have to cut it with thinner

Before and after pic would help, but definitely looks good.
How does it feel to the touch now? Just curious because I might be interested in doing some of this in my car.
