Stripped and Sanded Control Panel





The first image actually shows the INSIDE of the panel; I forgot to take a before-picture of the outside. It was covered in a thick layer of red paint and had massive amounts of old cement from the previous vinyl cover. After peeling off the old vinyl cover (breaking it bit by bit) I used a product called Citristrip Stripping Gel to do most of the hard work. It took a couple of applications, but got most of the paint and glue off with minimal effort and lots of mess. This product is nice in that it smells good and doesn't have toxic fumes. However Californians believe it to contain chemicals which cause reproductive harm. w00t
