Have any of you done any custom door panels or repaired damaged ones, lets see some pictures or discussion of that.

Re: Door panels
mine turned to chalk and you could scratch it with fingernail. i sanded them down and sprayed them with rust-oleum bed liner from a spray can. it added the texture back to it. coast about $15 for bothe panels

Re: Door panels
Does that bed liner chafe your arms or is it very mild? I may do this for a friend and don't want something that feels odd or chalky or runs your arms off

Re: Door panels
Hey coryd,
That panel looks GREAT! I'm gonna do that on my BURB.....did you have to smooth out the area where the trim seats in? I wonder if there might be a way to use that stuff on Dash Pads, too???? It comes in Tan as well - gonna try that on my Cheyenne Super come good weather.

They are on there pretty good though.. I probably could have use some sort of velcro to just keep it from moving...

Re: Door panels
I sanded mine down, sprayed them with Bull Dog adhesion promoter and painted them with SEM vinyl paint. Turned out looking brand new. I had the lower carpet kick panels and the small door cloth insert recovered at an upholstery shop for $50.00. All I need now is new carpet and the interior will look pretty much new.

Re: Door panels
3QTRTONS, they are just toggle switches. You can find them at any auto parts place or Home depot. The only bad thing is that if you flick the switch one way and forget to return it to the center position, it will drain your battery! I just removed the stock rocker switch from the factory bezel and forced the toggle switch inside, secured everything in place and wired them up.
