[QUOTE="crewchief_chick, post: 440492, member: 21321"] Yesterday we tackled door #2. I was given the advice that a propane torch and a stiff scraper would save me a couple of pizza's in $$ on stripper, so figured we would give it a whirl. That actually worked way better than what we expected!!! [ATTACH=full]122237[/ATTACH] Once we got the top layers stripped off, out came the aircraft stripper, then the torch again for the paint. Finally, wire wheel time! [ATTACH=full]122238[/ATTACH] Yea..... Now we know the reason for the incredibly thick bad skim coat/bedliner job.... [ATTACH=full]122239[/ATTACH] Proper skim coat application: [ATTACH=full]122240[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]122241[/ATTACH] Did a couple of light coats, sanding in between, then finally tack cloth, and we are ready for primer and paint!! [ATTACH=full]122242[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]122243[/ATTACH] Basically finished doors. They'll get a block sanding and some more coats later. We just wanted a good base coat laid to avoid any flash rusting or other issues forming. [ATTACH=full]122244[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
