Artist's Comments

This is the first step in my aesthetic restoration of my Jeep Wrangler YJ.

One of the previous owners was apparently a bumbling retard. They spray can rhino-lined not only the tub, but the tailgate, inside door panels, foot guards and even the fender flares and bumpers.

I set to removing the rhino lining from the doors with a chisel and a lot of patience. The stuff was pretty crappy and came up relatively easily, though it still took a lot of time and effort.

This photo was taken in the middle of removal on the passenger's side door.

Next step: Painting the bare vinyl door panels and making them look not cheesy or hickish in the process (next deviation)

How do U remove all those scratch on the plastic?

they were just superficial, they weren't deep and you couldn't feel them if you ran your hand over them. So I used the textured paint and it concealed pretty much all of them.
