70RAGTOP,
Awesome job, man.   :2thumbs:   Your panels look real sharp.  It's still a bit too cold here in VA to do much with mine, but I'll definitely post mine when I finish.  Did you spray your panels lying like the pics or did you prop them up to prevent pooling?

I viewed all of the post and saw all of the pics. I was so inspired I tried it this weekend. I don't have pictures that show the before , but I have the after pictures. They turned out pretty good. I washed them 3 times. Then the prep, then the adhesive, then 3 coats of the dye. What do you think?

Cdecristo..... They look great  :2thumbs:

Winton.....I hung them up this time.  Also, I will have to wait until it gets warm.  Even with the garage doors opened 10" the fumes were still bad in the house.  In fact you can still smell the dye 2 1/2 days later.

I'm glad you guys are having success.  :2thumbs: I usually do this type of stuff outdoors due to the stinkeroo factor.  :eek4:  2 or 3 coats should do it. If you do more than that, then I would worry about taking away the textured look of the panel.
