good progress rich. I love seeing the pics of people's work areas, houses and how you go about solving problems. Quite a few other members are using the nylon pergola/shelter things.

gotta say it looks like a bleak day in wales :D

Cheap gun wash thinners ? well thats what i used on mine and it worked !
:nodding:

I found the best way to get that sort of stuff off was heat and a scraper (not necessarily a good idea if you want to keep the paint that's under it) to get all the thick stuff off then a rag soaked in gun cleaner to get the rest.

Looks like you have a pretty good finish on those doors mate. Did you take off the door rubbers though?
