Looks ggod man. I am sure it is extra quiet now. I finsihed the door panels today and they turned out rather nicely. Wasnt too fond of some of the cracks, but I used and did what I could do. I am now waiting on the wood grain to painted and then reinstalled. The doors are quite heavy now.
Made some brackets to help hold the door to back panel, did this for both sides, worked like a champ, and super strong:
I also secured all of the screws on the back with a flat washer, the finshed product:
Some things also come in also:
The new center console cover also come in. I will finish up the Roadkill tomorrow on the floorboard, then remove the dash. There is supposed to be bad weather coming in tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Which liquid nails did you use? I used the one for plastic not for wood. That might be your problem. I also let mine set for 24 hours in the sun and near a heat source as much as possible. It you are using the right stuff then allow to set a little longer and see if it cures. Also did you use a huge portion or just where it needed it? Maybe just too thick which would require more dry time.
Glad to hear that it is holding up. I have always wondered how painted the actual seat belts would hold up... been wanting to try it for fun and see what happens. Good luck and if you have any more questions just post up or PM me.

Great job Mark I'm sitting here at work with a bum leg on light duty n I started reading your post to get some ideas on my black n tan two tone job I'm going to do on my 92 sc 1 jz I just picked up recently . I was going to go all black as I love the look but my dash n door panels are in very good shape so I decided to put in black carpet black console cover n black armrest with the seats redone in pleather tan outsides with black inserts . I was so into the post I sat here n read the entire thing including the links great detail you did a awesome job for Jay . I have stripped a sc interior from a scrap car I bought ( black interior n picked it up for 400 what a deal ) to part out so I know for fact how much work goes into just taking those parts out much less the prep n paint n reinstalling , mad props bro
I would like to know what the paint guy used on the trim looks awesome was it laquer ? Or just enamel with lots of clear I'm going to put black trim on my dash too . Thanks again for a great write up . Tom

Tom your so welcome man. I am glad so many people have found this thread entertainment! LOL... My buddy Tim said it was enamel. He said be wet sands after the first coat of clear. Total of five coats of clear. He does a great job for what he charges. It honestly is a very fair price. If I can anyway further just post up or PM me.

Can you please tell me what SEM paint you use on the door trims/panels and leather? It wasn't the Landau black was it? I thought that was only used on the dash/trim pieces. Thanks.

On the plastic pieces including the door, seats, dash, and panels, I used black landau. For the leather surfaces including the steering wheel outer part and the arm rest, I used gmc black. For the center console I recovered it with a new piece. Keep in mind Jays seats were recovered with synthetic leather more like pleather thus me using the black landau. Hope this clears up some guidance for you. Good luck!

Procedure
Cleaning and the scuffing with pad then I sprayed the Prep spray. I didn't use sand free or another product before the color coat. Am I screwed. Pieces look n feel fine but I'm concerned maybe it won't hold up etc . What you think. Thanks tom
