As far as the details of how I might integrate colors onto each panel or item, that is still in the works. But whatever I do, I will preserve my original parts as is. I've almost got a complete spare interior now thanks to ebay and Paul Scharf.
Getting the door panel off is relatively easy, but don't try this if you're crunched for time.
There are screws located...
-> (1) Front of door near hinge
-> (1) Bottom of door near latch
-> (2) Behind door speaker - woofer
-> (1) Inside door handle pull area
-> (1) In door jamb top near stanchion
-> Also a tree type fastener mid way up on latch side of panel. You can see the green holder for this in one of my pics. Just pull carefully on the panel to pop this loose.
Once you get all of the screws undone pull the panel away from the bottom a little and lift up. This will free the top. It will likely catch near the stanchion, so pay attention there.
Once you have access to the back side of the panel, but before you go too far with it, disconnect the speaker wire connector and the handle wire connector. Have an extra set of hands if you are clumsy, but I've done it several times by myself.
You will then get to the clear plastic sheet that is glued on with removable black sticky stuff. If you need to remove this, which I assume you will, just slowly and carefully pull at it and it will come. Any of the black sticky stuff that becomes dislodged just pull and dispose of. Mine lost about 1/3 of it and it still sticks plenty well.
This last pic is where I trimmed the black plastic at the base of the stanchion to make getting the panel on and off easier. If you look at yours, it will like be longer there and extend down below the top rail of the door near the glass. You kind of had to twist the door panel to remove it and that was a PITA. My panel actually cracked there from this maneuver. Some JB Weld epoxy and the panel is now 100% again, and the Dremel to the stanchion means no more troubles.
