Door cards

I was thinking of ripping out the material part of them and spraying them, can this be done or if the backing for the stitchwork unsprayable?

better to get some of the all plastic door cards from base models from a scrappy or something, the bit behind the material really isnt suitable

It would be a lot easier to just do what Scott said and get some all plastic panels as if you try to take the fabric off its just gonna be too rough to be able to do anything with it, you'd need to smooth it out and fill in the door card so is a lot harder to do than get new panels!!

yeah but on the base saxo door pannels there is texture in the plastic so to get a good finish you would really need to smooth the pannel so that you could get it to adhere to the panel well and so the finished look was good

thing being the part that the material attaches to is not plastic, is a compressed fibre glass type compound, to paint would require a hell of a lot of strengthening work to stop it flexing and to stop it being porous for the paint to not crack to to not seep into the thing itself
