Here is my door panel pretty much stock. It gets messy from here...
From here I had to tear apart the door panel, breaking off all of the tabs and seperating it into 4 pieces. The tabs are a pain to get un-done, I used a pair of pliers on some and a chisel and hammer on others. The big thing is to be VERY CAREFUL not to tear through the panel. From here I cut a piece of cardboard for the oval and clothed it in gray. Then I clothed each section in an alternating color.
This is a pic of only the top section. This section includes the back of the door pocket and the back edge along with the top portion near the handle. Basically everything in gray except the oval on the door is on this top section.
Here is a pic of the bottom section fully clothed. This section is also the front part of the door pocket. This section has a lot of important tabs on the back of it, if you do this, be careful to leave the majority of them uncovered so that you will be able to re-attach the sections.
This is the panel put back together. I put it back together with a high strength plastic epoxy and a JB Weld type stuff designed for plastics. I used the epoxy to glue the smaller tabs back in place and the weld stuff for the larger tabs. It took me about 7-8 hours to get this one done, partly because I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but I figure the driver's side should take about 4-5 hours ( 6 tops ).
