black door panels

[Gotz Cb7]

So, overread a post earlier of a guy painting a few things on his door, and had the same tan interior I do. I started doing a few pieces, then it got out of control, but it didn't turn out too shabby. For the past 2 1/2 years I've had this car, I was always about performance. Not so much looks, but lately I've been doing some interior/exterior work. It's quite fun once you get the motivation to start. Once you start, you can't wait to see the finish project.

I dunno about that much black.

I have tan too, and id like to make the bottom fabirc black and make the center piece black.

Looks good, but I would find a grommet on the firewall to run those wires through before all your hard work goes up in flames...

I've been going for a dark look for the car, lots of black. I plan on doing a lot of the interior black, find some black seats and such. One day the outside of the car will be black. Iuno, doesn't make any sense with all the tan interior, then the black dashboard. Looks funny. Figured I'd make the doors and it, match. Most of the door was all scuffed with black marks, and just....black crap that I couldn't get off.

I've had it like that quite awhile. I really do need to run them a bit better. I plan on gettin' a bigger gauge for the Amp, since I just threw a 2nd Amp in the trunk.

test each can of paint before using it, for some strange reason, one of my panels had almost no gloss and a TEXTURE to it, it added another coat from another can and got some gloss back, but the texture is still there
I did use the same brand and kind on each door before you ask

Did you use any clear coat of any sort?

Those wires where they hook'd up to

what paint type did u use? any prep? my door is the same with scuffs i cant get off and the carpet fell off

I used Krylon fusion for plastic. I sanded everything I painted, with 320 grit sand paper, just to get some of the gunk buildup off it from over the years. I noticed at first, that without sanding, it would bubble up and not stick in certain spots. So, just resanded and it worked out perfect. It says it dries in 15 minutes, but yea..it dries, but if you touch it, it'll be kinda sticky. I just let it sit for about 3 hours, and put everything back together.

As for the wires, they're for my Amps, fogs, and fans. I really do plan on rerouting them elsewhere, but it just hasn't been nice enough out to do so. Most of the stuff I've been doing, I take off the car real quick, and take inside.
