Well my interior plastic pieces have some scratches on them.

I resprayed them with matching oem black paint. But the held up for such a small time.

I decided to replace them, but then thinking about it after a while. I WRAPPED them in leather lol

these 2 pieces i did are the rear strut bar pieces.

not bad so far. any pointers for people who have done these so far? im having a hard time with corners lol

BEFORE


AFTER

 

i am going to wrap all my plastic pieces in faux black suede soon, along with the head liner and sun visors and leather wrap my door panels. glad i aint the only one thinking and doing this. good luck with your project

 

wow everything? good luck mang~

im just doing the rear strut bar pieces cause they looked pretty easy.

BUT wow was i wrong. very hard... maybe cause the material i am using is a little thicker then suede.

other than this im just gonna wrap my center console, but at the SHOP lol

 

Wow been thinking about doing this for a long time......
What is the procedure for wrapping leather? Like do you glue them together or ...... Please explain, thanks!

Oh, and where'd you buy the leather at?

 

Purchased the glue and vynl at Jo Ann fabrics

the glue was lactose? Heavy duty permanct glue. Or u can use 3m 90

just spray on. Wait one minute. U have to wait or it won't stick. And they work away lol

 

For better rounded corners you will need to cut them and make seams. So instead of one big piece its two to three pieces joined by stitching to get better contours.

 

What was your process for painting it OEM black that lacked the durability? Did you sand, primer?

 

I've been thinking about doing this for quite some time. SURE GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.
where did you get the leather and what kind? from the pic, it looks good so far!!
please, advise.
