I need some suggestions on where to get vinyl, carpet and grill cloth that match our dark gray interiors. Everything I look at or order doesn't even come close.

 

i get a vinyl locally wtih my auto supply dist that matches really closely...

do a aesrch on some of my past installs and you should see it

if you want me to get you some, elt me know, just pay for what it is and shipping...

Yoy know that really thin kinda fuzzy felt type stuff that coats the inside of the 2006 cubby? I need some of that. Or some other sort of really thin material that I can use instead of painting.

 

Any tips on how to apply vinyl around complex shapes, such as door pods or kick panels. I'm getting to the point where I go all the way around then end up with a bunch left over that I can't just stretch and pull out; cutting would leave a line.

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW I picked up vinyl from: www.yourautotrim.com

They have a wide variety of vinyls including some specialty one like carbon fiber weaves.

Thanks.

 

to apply vinyl around tight curves you need to use a very good industrial adhesive, then as you lay it and stretch it apply heat from a heat gun, but be very careful you dont burn it. another trick i do to keep it in place is staple the edges really well on the back, like if you were covering a door pod, lay it then from the back side tack it down.

 

heat is key, and stuff like Miami series from Select Products you can pull and pull and pull and not lose the grain, it's got some real nice stretchability to it so you can put some muscle behind it and not have wrinkles

 

Contact Bing (16psi) or Nazar and see if they can hook you up with their material. I used Nazar's pods and the fit and finish of the vinyl is very nice. Bing has posted some awesome installs and would of been my choice without hesitation if distance wasn't such an issue.
