door panel restoration

I used some SEM Color Coat to refinish my door panels (http://semproducts.com/Catalog.asp?prod=190). I cleaned them first, and removed the cloth centerpiece. I also did the same with my rear deck carpet (no before pic) but I ran out of paint (still need more coverage).

Bye bye greenish brown door panels









Naked door panel



All Original paint and body, 85 GSLSE, Riken wheels

Lookin' good! I did the same with mine a few years ago:



The RX-7 logo is spray paint as well... I made a rubbing of one of the badges and cut that out as a stencil. I'm about to redo them in a dark silver since my car is no longer white.
