The inner door panel can be removed with care

Hi all.
Sorry its been a long time coming but today I've managed to sort the inside of the door out with a new coat paint. I took the door of the hinge ( dead easy as it just lift off ) and masked off the aluminum trim around the out side and the door latch. I gave the door a good rubbing with a fine grade sand paper to key the new paint to Doing this alone brought the door back to a better colour but once I've started im going to finish it. Closed the vent on the bottom so no over spray would get through. After five coats of plasticote it now looks brand new. The horrible uv damaged yellow has now been replaced with a satin while. I will try and post a picture up now for you to see. It was easy to do and cost me well under a tenner but has transformed the little Eriba. I don't no whether i should lacquer to over now to protect the fresh paint. What do you think ?
Hope you like it.
Johnny

Hi

I don't seem to be able to load a photo up with my smart phone. Every time i attach a file it then asks if i want to upload it. When i opt for this it asks again hence i end up going round in circles .
I'll keep trying.

Cheers Agger. The last image was set at 5 mega pixels. I've just taken another one at 2.1 pixels so fingers crossed this one will load up.

Well there it is. Eventually managed to get my photo uploaded ( even if it is sideways on ) Maybe one of the kind moderators could turn it around for me ?
Thanks for your patience
Johnny

It looks ok to me a touch dark BUT that could be because of lower resolution

I think that the door looks great - nicely done, thanks for sharing, I'm sure many of have the same fading and discolouring on our doors ! This is a great help Thanks
