1965 Chevelle: Door Skin 2 – Installation V8TV

By John Truman, July 11, 2010 8:58 pm


www.v8tvshow.com - In this video, we install a new set of doorskins on our 1965 Chevelle. These new, rust-free, arrow-straight skins came from OPGI, and when installed properly, are a quick and relatively easy way to renew an old set of doors. We prepped our inner structure by treating it to a complete sandblasting and a bath in PPG DP90 epoxy primer. We then did a little work to the skin to get it ready, then we used a 3M Automix doorskin adhesive to bond the skin to the inner structure. The trickiest part is working the new doorskin over the inner structure, but we used a cool tool from Dent Fix to power the flange over smoothly and quickly.

    DP refers to PPG DP90, an epoxy primer.

    Sandblasted and DP'd. What is DP? I assume that it's something primer.
