The Adhesive had to settle a little.. but in some spots it was still wet and came through, but I think I solved it.

 

so, its a fabric and not real leather right?

 

Heh, it looks like you sprayed it flat black! How hard was it to strech the material in the tough spots? Did you use 3M Super 77?

 

Looks really nice man...

 

Looks good from the pics.

I think im going to get ready to do my doors (replace the worn suede with something else) any tips or tricks?

 

Where did you pick that material up from, i've been to a few fabric stores and not found shit.

 

#1 The fabric is hard as FUCK to find.. Believe it or not its a SEASONAL fabric according to alot of fabric stores. I had NO clue black suede was seasonal. so that was why I wasnt finding what I wanted. I've seen ALOT of other nice kick ass colors/materials in the search though.

#2 Some of it is REALLY Pricey. Upwards of $20.00 a yard for even Faux Suede. I happen to find mine, and it had a silly pattern on one side of the fabric I cut off. It was on sale and fairly cheap. Not to mention it was the last in the store.

I'm no expert on covering things by anymeans, but I'm fairly satisfied with the job done . Tays got his done as well. Someone who does interiors for a living did his. And its a nice fucking job. NOT Cheap for someone to do/recreate. Labor alone is $200.00+

Im going to have to run a sun shade constantly now, along with a liquid that helps fight UV rays from damaging the material. So.. upkeep is something that I'll have to stay on top of.

Door panels should be done relativily soon. Maybe this weekend.

 

Take your time, let the glue/spray tack settle first, prepaired to get aggrivated, take your time, For the most part cut NOTHING until youre done overlaying, then make cuts where its nessesary, take your time.


Oh and take your time.

 

Thanks for the info, Mike. I saw some pretty cool baseball glove colored suede-ish material for 13.80 a yard. Too lazy to pull the dash out.
