door panel Q?
How difficult would it be to take my current door panels and cover them with the blue leather used on dash pad and visors?

Re: door panel Q?
I did these myself with tweed and spray adhesive. Not real easy but do-able. Just take your time.

Re: door panel Q?
however, the vinal (no leather on these trucks) doesn't conform very well.
I'd say very difficult for someone who's never tried anything like it. |

Re: door panel Q?
would it be much easier to just sand and repaint?

That is true, vinyl is a bit thicker than tweed. I forgot to mention in my other post that I did the door panels myself but I had to have an upholstery shop wrap the leather on the armrests. I tried to do them myself but was wasting the leather. It was too expensive of a learning curve to bother with.

Re: door panel Q?
Here is what I did, worked out well for me and is cheap. If you just want to re-paint just go to autozone and get the vynal/leather dye. Is only 6 bucks and works great! spray paint will just flake off after a while.

Re: door panel Q?
BC, for mine all I did was go to joanns fabric and bought some foam and a yard of vynal. cut the foam/vyan to fit, glued the foam to the door panel, glued the vynal to the trim ring on the panel. then fit everything together.
Took me about 30-45 minutes a piece and this was my 1st time as well. |
