What kind of adhesive should I use to recover the door panels? Has anyone done this who can give me some tips? Thanks

I used the paint on cement. Dont use it, it didnt hold.. I bought new door panels instead of redoing it. It was 2 much of a pain the 1st time.

use contact cement and fallow the instruction about 2 coats and let it dry. Cut the material big you can always trim it after and if you use vinyl try to get a steamer and heat it when you put it on it will help it stretch and get read of the wrinkles

Jimmy tell me how it turns out and if you need any more help just email me.

if you read the back of the contact cement can you will see. You cover the two areas you want to glue together and wait till they are dry. Then put another coat on if it needed.

will the contact cement change the colour of the fabric? I will let you know how it turns out, thanks for the advice.

What fabric are you using? Try it on a small peace first and if you start with a thin first coat to seal it you should have no problems. I use it on vinyl, leather and carpet all the time.
