Ok so im doing my headlining and pillars a different colour, just went and ordered the material tonight, black suede :cool:
But I just wondered how I would go about doing the door seals? :undecided:
Is it possible to re upholster then or not? :huh:
Any help or advise much appreciated!
Cheers, Hoggy.

I used some fake leather on my mk3 headliner, the back half went on a treat but the front?? a royal pain in the arse, I had a sunroof but the worse part was the grab hadle and sunroof recesses. There was no stretch whatsoever, horrible job. You might have better luck though, who knows? :nerd:

Yea im not using fake leather, too think and no give. The black suede has plenty of give and stretch so shouldn't be an issue with recceses, plus, no sunroof :cool:

So how good is this spray, means most of it can be done in situe??!!!
-
hell no it goes everywhere :grin:

I just saw spray paint in the eBay link :grin:
I wont be lazy and actually look next time lol.
-
have you used this stuff then? Is it any good ?
-
yes it is good, although it didn't make the seals 100% black, more of a dark grey. Good enough though

So would you suggest using it on the headlining??
I got dark grey on my seats so think it will work

took all mine out and sprayed black :cool:

Thinking of doing mine at some point, worst part I'm sure will be sunvisors, light/alarm sensor things and the W8 light (when I get one) looking to have all the logo's lighting up so scraping paint off with a needle to reveal the logo's inbetween coats of paint will be fun, need to keep OEM look :cool:
