good find! thanks!

I couldn't find the krud kutter graffiti remover unless I ordered it and have it shipped so while I was at home depot I picked up Motsenbockers Lift Off graffiti remover.

I got #8 + 3/8 panhead screws today at Home Depot. Same size as 8/32.

GM could save us all a lot of trouble by selling these in OEM colors or clear like this. That would awesome.

Thanks man, yeah, that would be to easy tho...

Well, I don't know what went wrong but this certainly didn't come out like I was expecting.

Chris-10 · 09-16-2013, 01:50 PM

I painted mine, came out great but I've got sand some paint off to get the abl back.

Passenger side door came out better. You can even see the white LED I changed it too:

SummoneR · 09-21-2013, 10:05 PM

Nice! Looks better!

vroomapunk · 09-27-2013, 06:53 PM

this is amazing, I had this idea right when I got my car and was never able to find out if anyone tried it.

Chris-10 · 09-28-2013, 06:44 PM

Door panels came out great and the light finally shines thru

Not sure if anyone looking to do this is interested in picking up door insert to try this insert painting on, but I've got an drivers side ABL panel from a 45th anniversary edition that would work perfect for this. I'd probably go for it myself but the factory silver panels are going to look best for me in how my interior is going to be done.

Nice job! I am thinking about painting my ABL panels Black to match my 14' 1LE.

Pagliaro · 02-06-2014, 09:39 PM

I've started to strip my driver's side panel.

I used dot 3 brake fluid because all the graffiti remover compounds I can find here in Canada is either a paste tub or aerosol can.

I also neglected to take the trim panel out of the door panel. (Hoping I can also paint it without taking it off)

So far so good but won't be able to really tell until I get a good layer of SGM painted on it.

vroomapunk · 02-07-2014, 08:05 AM

Keep us updated man on how the brake fluid works. Looks pretty clear, such a weird looking picture haha

Might be cool to just leave em clear and have the abl make the whole panel glow
