Door Panel Time

[RuralRoute C-30]

With temperatures moderating back to comfortably hot outside recently I decided it was time to move forward on this project. I've had the new door inserts to match the one I changed when I redid the dash laying around since last winter.


Anyway,picked up some SEM product in black last Saturday for this project so will see what it looks like when it's done. But for now, got the door panels off today.


After a lot of scrubbing they are now drying...paint to follow a thorough drying...


Having never painted interior panels before this will be interesting. Yet having read and seen others results here it helps to know it can be done.

And for anyone who wants to see the other parts involved for what it may be worth:


Well time to check on the panels and set up an area for paint soon. Not sure what to do about the lower brown carpet panels.


Leaning to just eliminating those altogether and painting that part of the door black as well. Doubt painting carpet would work out very well. Maybe a diamond plate panel in the future? Curious to see how the black door panels will go with the rest of the tan interior...hopefully a decent two-tone result.
