does anyone have any tips on how to repaint the inside of your door? not the door panels, but the metal part! how do i take the door panels off? please help! thanks!

 

you mean inside like where the window sits? if so yes and the door skin. it will be tough

 

just pull them off....then i guess u chould probably just clean off the surface, rough it up a little with some sand paper but dont like sand down the natural textured finish of the metal...the tape off anything u dont want paint on, and just spray some interior paint (rattle can) onto it...might wanna prime it, im not sure what others would reccomend....

 

Use paint stripper, sand paper will destroy the embossed design on the door. I just layed a new coat on mine but im dissapointed because it "sticks" to anything that touches it. U almost need to scratch it up to have something to hold onto, but i dont know. Some paints are more adheasive though...

they make a tool that pulls the panel off. Its like a small crowbar

 

if you mean the actual INSIDE of the door, youd have to remove the skin(the outside part)...aka, alot of work

 

yeah...i just dont really see the point of it....it makes about as much sense as painting on the underneath part of the dash or the inside of the gas tank.....

 

When I first read the post, I was thinking about the inside of the car, not the inside of the door. I guess you could get some paint in there if you really wanted to paint the inside of the door. Just take off the panels, roll the window up and spray your little heart out.

 

look at this picture. you see how this gy painted his door skins. i want to know how i do this. what are the steps. should i take my doors off?

How do i take the panels off? and all the *****?!??!?

 

im doing the doors absolutely last, im either guna buy new skins or repair the old, either way im gunna hit them with POR-15 and paint black. you need to grind out the factory spot welds, or sue this crowbar thing baddog was talking about. the door panel it set up with hooks, use a long screwdrive to reach under there and pop them off, but BE CAREFUL, the door panel is VERY brittle and wil break easily. i ripped mine a little, but not tooo bad, its still reusable and no one will ever know.
