Does anyone know if all door interiors are aluminum?

My door looks like steel rusting under the vinyl or at least that is what I had assumed.

Thanks for the idea on the door. I am redoing the interior of my 83 limited 34' in black, white and silver/chrome sort of art deco.
I had not thaught of stripping the door inside.

Stripper

Steven,

Thanx for the head's up. This "Adhesive remover"...is it the "Maxwell"...? Could you tell me what the name of the product is that you wrote about...the "aircraft stripper from HD that Ron used"...? & Steven, is that the one that's so toxic? Is it a "HAZ-MAT" (that can't be shipped)...like the ALCOA Silver Seal is..?


>>I then tried the same aircraft stripper from HD that Ron used on the inside of his door and it loosened up the decal enough to pull it off in big chunks. It left behind a lot of glue which required three applications of Adhesive remover (aso from HD) and a plastic scraper to clean up. But the aluminum was left undamaged.<<

Cat - It's "Kleen Strip Low Oder Aircraft Remover" and "Kleen Strip Adhesive Remover". You can buy them in quarts or gallons. The Aircraft Stripper also come in an aerosol can - convieniant for smaller areas.

I've seen them in smaller hardware stores and even auto stores. Not sure about shipping them.

Spray Can

I forgot I bought the spray stripper too.....It's great for second coating the little stuff that didn't come off with the first application.

I found it at Auto Zone too.....

Roni & Tony...is that "AutoZoneDOTcom"...?

Steven, one more question...? How well can it be 'localized'---i.e., not drip down on the 'fuselage' below the Beltline...? & you apply it how? and you remove the residue how? (sry, that's several questions...

& Paul...
This CAT is very sweet...and very much ALIVE!(& not named "Maxwell" either). heh heh ;o)

That is amazing....I can't believe that that is such a problem, just from the sun reflecting like that....!!!!

Would seem shiny doors are a fire hazzard. Seriously. Dry campground, leave door open as you take a little nap, and burn down the whole place. Might even melt the SOB next door.

Question New abbreviation for me?

OK, what is "SOB"? I use that all the time but I think my spelled-out version is different.

or is it?

Has anybody tried this product from 3M : MMM08907 , It is available from NAPA autoparts stores under the same part number and is called 3M Woodgrain & Stripe Remover. They also have an adhesive remover with the part #08908

Just a thought.

Okay...so I finally got around to doing a little test this weekend...tired to fry an egg in the reflection, it was a success!

BTW notice how much more our nylon carpet has melted...got a new idea for 'carpet' on our next trip, since the nylon carpet is melting before our eyes...

WOW. I just came across this thread today- Thanks, Shari, for showing the sun's power for cooking eggs! We just painted the inside of our door "airstream blue" as I call it- most will be covered by a flamingo flag. I either didn't know about the airstripper, thought it was toooo toxic or just plain forgot, as the youngest son was painting all that yucky vinyl with sealing paint, low-no voc- yesterday. I think for my immediate health, we will keep going with the paint due to my son's volcanic temperment. silver suz
