[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 434429, member: 18629"] Short rant about paint. I'm slowly progressing with the door repair and prep for paint. The red is not original and not too bad but has a few waves going across. Then I got to sanding the flat black paint on the upper panel and window frame. I don't know what kind of paint a previous owner used but it's soft and instantly gums up the sandpaper. Maybe from a spray can of Imron or undercoating. Terrible stuff to remove. I decided to completely remove the black paint and switched from a sanding block to a paint stripping wheel on an angle grinder and it worked much faster but also gummed up the wheel. If you don't have any of these disks I highly recommend them for paint removal. They're fast at removing the paint with very little metal loss and not much heat so the metal doesn't warp like with a sanding flap disk.
