Re: Door Panel Time

I'm really impressed with SEM. I know I am the worst spray bomb painter and this paint obviously took me in account!:lol

Seriously, nice product, quick dry time between coats and my fear of messing this project up is over as I tend to stay away from anything involving a spray can and a vehicle.

Even painting the lower door idea is coming along with one "minor" glitch. Nothing like discovering something new on something old.


So I reread the label on the SEM can and it says it adheres to carpet too.

Still, the drivers side came out like I planned.

Unfortunately I hadn't pulled the carpet off the passenger side at that point.

At least the door panels turned out better than I expected considering 25 years of scars and scratches. I did lightly run some emery cloth and #000steel wool over the worst areas and it seemed to help.



Oh well, it is a working truck and not a show queen...and the end result will be a lot better than what I had.

Waiting on paint to dry on the doors now as I ponder using SEM on carpet panels.
