I've got a new project car and some painted the rear interior quarter trim panels very poorly. I'm not sure how they managed to do such a bad job. Any ideas how to salvage? Does anyone have any replacements? I've heard nothing but bad on the aftermarket ones.

If you want to preserve texture, you can pull a mold off off a place where the texture is still good. There are materials for making molds for resin parts that are good for this - they keep the detail and stay flexible so you can add texture around curves. Remove any distressed plastic from the surface, fill with dash pad repair material and press in your mold.
 
Here is a video for copying texture so it can be applied to an area being fixed. Pesronally havent used it but looks like it would work. I have also used the texture coating mentioned above and that also seems to work although on mine I didnt have to do a lot of panel repair.

Satin black

Came out pretty good considering they had tejano red and gold diamond tuck glued on covering them when I got them (90’s junk yard)
