Torch red door panels...started!
Ok, it was time to get started and complete the 2nd phase. Here are some progress photos.
Had to repair the door panels where the vinyl has pulled away.
First couple of color coats.

Just an FYI, the lot that I bought my 95 from sent the car to someone to re-dye the seats. I found this out the hard way after driving it with a white shirt on with the top out. My back began to sweat and my shirt was red down the back when I got home. May be an issue if you drive with your arm on the door.

Looking forward to the finished pics. I was pleasantly surprised by the other pics you posted and think this will be more of the same for me. Keep the pics coming.

We'll see, if it's trouble I can always do this every few years. The benefits of color may outway the chore. I thought about having it recovered in vinyl already in red.....BUT I had concerns about fading from the sun and wasting hundreds of dollars on that, versus a simple respray.
