New door panels

Insanity or genius?  Long ago, I bought a set of those laser cut plywood panels from Aardvarc.  They're really nice!  I thought I'd clad them in thin aluminum sheet, but when the sheet got thick enough to feel like you wouldn't dent it, it was really heavy.  So, why not kevlar?

My current plan is to kevlar the inside, give it a nice skim coat, epoxy seal the outside, and leave them like that.  I'll take the tops to the powdercoater and give them the same silver color as the roll bar since they'll be exposed.  Hopefully, it'll be a cool look.  If not, it'll be one hell of a door card to paint or cover with new material!

30 year old vinyl is ugly.
Light sand for prep.
Bulletproof!
First coat of system 3 epoxy.  Each door got about 200 mL.
