Door-panel Makeover:

Lots of people out there are painting their interiors these days, but I am a little more old school so I have opted to go with vinyl.
I am staying with the Red and Black theme for Red Max.
Using Vinyl does require you to tare the door panels down to the individual components, but at the end you have a factory finish.
I have added a few pick of the rework. It took me 6 hours to do the job, but I do have training in door and seatwork. This is something that does require time and planning if you are a first timer.

I used contact cement and painted a light coat on both pieces and let dry. You have to test to see if the glue beads through the material you are using.
Do not buy the spray on contact cement it will not give you a good bond and comes loose in a short time.
If you can get your hands on some custom upholstery spray glue then that would be a plus.
