Dyed my Door Panels
So I went to a really good upholstery shop here in town (Jacobs) and the owner who has been doing this a really long time advised against VHT dye and said to go with SEM. It's about 9-10 bucks a can but lasts longer (1 can for 2 door panels). So I bought 4 cars, a prepping agent and went at it! I'm overwhelmingly happy with the results. I went with 2-tone so my experience was much harded then most who just go with one color for the whole door panel. I'm NOT completely done, as I need to take a toothpick and get in the cracks and things but overall it's more then I had hoped. I also did a bad job on taping so I oversprayed a bit but was able to get it off of the tan..I've only completed the rear thus far, and will be doing the front's tomorrow evening. Here are the pics...      I should mention, I only cleaned each door panel for about 20-30 mins with that supercleaner stuff. I used a rag and then an old toothbrush and scrubbed a bit. Everyone always says you need to spend 3-4 hours to prep, I say bullshit :P Also I put on 4 coats per door panel. I'll be posting progress on the other panels, dash, knee panel and glovebox as I continue on. |
