[VAC] interior wall refinish



Jerry, I haven't completed the refinishing of the interior walls of my
Overlander.  The panels are in storage right now having been stripped to the
bare aluminum and are awaiting polishing before they are re-installed.

If I were to do that again, I would take the panels off first and do the
paint stripping on a large flat drained surface.  This would allow the
stripper to stay in contact with the paint better and make removal with
non-scratch brushes almost a breeze.  I'll have a pic on my website
eventually of the contraption I designed to do that job.

Is the front dome of your Overlander fiberglas?  Mine is a brown translucent
material.  I'm toying with the idea of putting strip lighting behind it in a
pattern that would mimic the seams of interior panels.
