I believe it will turn out fine once painted because the clarity improves once pressed against. Adding the definition seen in stock panels.
Method I used to strip:
- Soaked folded up blue shop towels in generic dot 3 brake fluid
- Spread soaked towels along painted surfaces
- Allow the brake fluid to start to settle you'll begin to see spots of paint disappear
- Once the spots begin grab super fine steel wheel (0000) and begin to rub off the painted surface
- Alternate between wiping off paint the brake fluid is eating up with blue shop towels and steel wool sanding
- Repeat
Door panel took roughly 2.5 hours to strip.
Light wouldn't diffuse properly with completely clear panels plus you'd see the inside of the door. I sort of tried something similar to this with the old cloth panels as they are translucent white once stripped. |
Thats cool! Thanks for the tips. post more once you have painted.
What do you have to use to get all the brake fluid off? I know you cant have any traces of that stuff for the new paint to stick.
