RETRY: Door panel DIY fabric

As alot of you know, I tried this with white vinyl and it just didn't work. Color faded, and I ended up taking it apart.

So thanks to Ironcow, I decided to redo it. This time I went with a grey color type polyester fabric. It almost feels like leather and matches really well. Hard to see exactly in the dark, but here you go. I've only done one door, so three more to go.

Nice. The material I got is suede I think. It's easier to take apart the doors for sedan, but you also have more doors to do New pics tomorrow in daylight.

That looks sick. I was planning on doing dark blue leather in my sedan. Check out www.leatherseats.com -you can get strips of leather in a lot of colors and leather covers for your seats. My brother and I installed leather red and black seat covers in his WRX it turned out really sick.

Well I got my gray suede from Joann fabrics. I bought a big piece for $8, enough to do all four doors. I'm just worried what the water will do.

Did you have to spray an adhesive on the origonal cloth before you could put on the suede?

I pulled off the old cloth, wiped with acetone, sanded, and sprayed 3M adhesive glue. Then I laid down the suede. Only problem I had was one door piece got a little glue on it, and the top part wouldn't tuck in enough. I was trying to hurry, though.

If its 100% real suede (which i doubt since u spent only 8$), then it would get hard if it got wet.

If you have like a polyester/suede type thing, then its fine if it gets wet just,dont dump water on it, lol

I have black suede but, havent put it in yet.

here are some pics of my progress
what i did to give it more padding is i cut the edges of the stock fabric off and then i glued my new stuff right over top and then tucked the edges in from there

i think it came out pretty nicely

Not a bad idea at all.... Looks pretty sweet and is quite unique (not just doing the color match thing)

Just can't picture myself going into a fabric store though with my buddies.... LOL
