Re: removing door panel paint
paint thinner or MEK will probably melt the door panel...like said previously, I would use scotchbrite and some water...

Re: removing door panel paint
I always wondered if soda blasting would work if the pressure was turned way down. I've seen demonstrations on aluminum cans where it didn't even dent the can, and on cars, you can actually remove paint in layers. Just curious. I have a perfect 73-74 grille that somebody painted black that just has too many cracks and crevices to try and scotchbrite completely. The solvents in the new paint will lift and bubble all the old paint you can't get off. Don't ask me how I know this......

Re: removing door panel paint
I used lacquer thinner and about 10 yours of time to remove the old die from my door panels and dash pad.

Re: removing door panel paint
I've used Acetone with good success. Can get it at the local hardware store. Repainted my dash that way.
