Chris, I followed your instructions for restoring the door panels on my own 2004 TJ and the results were amazing. I want to thank you for sharing your approach to repairs and restoration. You have no idea how much help you have given me.

Hi Chris thank you so much for this clip. Gives lot of courage to paint the door panels. Please take care and stay Safe.

Panels look fabulous. Love this DIY stuff with common household items. Priceless tips also. I’m grateful for your common sense. I agree that Dupli-Color paint is good but the nozzles ain’t no damn good. Miss your Chevelle videos.

Good job. One thing I recommend is using a clear coat to protect the color. From uv as well as abuse. It will help the paint last longer and you can also change the glossyness to more flat or satin verses whatever you end up with using the paint. Acetone is a good cleaner as long as it does not melt the plastic. Also dentured alchohal Ive seen be used with good results. Definitly need scotch bright and or fine scrub brush.

Clear speaking.Nice. Great video.Id like to add a tip. As for the spots which are brittle caused by uv deterioration theres a way to fix it. Get vinyl filler .Its in putty form.It can be applied evenly over the gritty areas and sanded off.The thing to watch out for is that the.texture will differ from that of other parts so the trick is to apply very thinly just enough not to alter the texture patter.

Thank you! Well spoken and informative. You are a professional.

Looks ok to me fantastic channel and video too

Good job. Thank you.

Great job, thank you for sharing. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Nice job. Where is the 1970 SS.

Nice ass jeep my man! I got a 99 as well and my ass is gonna do the exact same stuff to my jeep

Hey@ I have a TJ and the door has been repaired already. It was sahara body colour and sprayed to gray. The paint is now flaking at the top. Trouble is it looked like they broke the panel and then attached it back. So I don't want to remove them again. Is it possible to just mask of the parts and leave the panel on? I don't want to break the panels anymore.

A good tip as far as it spitting out the paint is to take a needle and clean out the spray hole

the valve on the can is what gets clogged and fails. You just soak the nozzle in mineral spirits but don’t leave it in too long it will dissolve the glue and blow it apart

Never put a needle in the nozzle cause it will mess up the fan pattern. The way you keep the sputtering is to heat your paint up but soaking in hot water or set on the defroster in your vehicle. Then shake the can really well.....when you are done shaking.....shake it some more. Then after a minute of spraying shake your can some more.

***PRO TIP*** Use one or two drops of either a 3 in 1 oil or some sort of oil meant for lubricating fan motors and bearings. Probably any oil that isn’t too thick will work. Drops go straight into the male or female output hole on the spray can. Place cap back on and spray it in the air or on scrap for a second or two to blow out any excess oil in the cap. Paint will no longer clog or stick inside the cap and you should have a smooth spraying experience for the duration of your project 🤫

When you spray fabric when the paint dries take a stiff brush to brush the fabric down. Then spray again and brush again. Also vacuum after brushing.
