Walt,
Thanks for the pictures.  They really turned out well.  Maybe I should just box mine up and send them to you to do for me!   :grinyes:  haha.  Great job!

Thank you all for the encouragement.  I'm going to tackle the project this weekend and hopefully do them right the first time!  Y'all have a great weekend, and I will let you see the final product as soon as I get them done.

OK, I think I have completed the kick panels.  They look good, but I have a dumb question....how do I know when I have enough coats on?  They look good, and they aren't very sticky, but I want to make sure I have applied enough coats.    Thanks!

You are the man! They look like brand new. Now, how many people are going to want you to do theirs.

Thanks Rev, Walt and everyone else with the super advice.  I am really pleased with the way they came out.

Russ, The interior door panels were sprayed in the position they are in in the picture.  The kick panels were sprayed exactly opposite (180 degrees) of how they are in the pics.  Walt had warned me that the adhesive would 'pool' in areas that would allow, so I turned them to that position where any excess adhesive would run somewhere other than to the same place.  The SEM products are definitely the way to go.  I never expected them to come out this way, especially under my control.  I showed them to 2 of my neighbors - one with a '68 Chevelle SS and the other with 2 '87 Buick GN's, and they were both blown away with the SEM product results.  The Chevelle guy already plans to order some products for his car.

JayBee, thanks for the compliment.  I'll be happy to help anybody who needs it, but I tell ya...if I can do it, it honestly means anyone can! ;D  I'm a novice! 

When I get pictures of the actual door panels, I will post them as well.  I'm glad y'all convinced me to go with SEM.

Winston .....The panels turned out great.  Way to go.  You and I are in the same boat, both are novice.  It's been to cold to do the door panels.  H@ll, it just got over the freezinfg mark on Tuesday.  I plan to finish all of the panels this weekend.  We're having a heat wave, it'll be up in the 40's.  Plus my wife won't let me do them in the house.  fumes stay around to long and are over powering.
