Randy, he may, give him a call.

Curtis.... if you bought him a plane ticket probably....

 

You need to spice things up a little, maybe act out a fantasy. It will be fun too!

 

Ash--

Those are pretty spectacular results. Nice!



Randy--

Talk to the guy who did Rob E's interior repairs. He was at a Sharktoberfest two ago demo'ing on a shelf seat. My guess is that you could schedule with him to use your car as a show-off project.

 

I had similar repairs done to my driver seat bolster (typical wear/tears), seat bottom, etc, and the rear passenger side panel (screw holes from a amp install). Both looked fantastic for a while. The rear panel still looks great cause its not a high wear area. Seats & bolsters, steering wheels, etc, typically dont last as long if you drive your car allot. Maybe my guy wasnt as good as I had to get the seat bolster replaced after only a few months...

Good luck!!

 

There are a number of vinyl and leather repair kits on the market. Most sell for between $20 and $40. If you read product reviews it seems just about everyone has the same issues.

1) It is extremely difficult to get a correct color match using the trial and error method these kits require.
2) The repair often fails weeks or a few month later.

I have no idea what the instructions are on these kits. I suspect that the repair failures probably have to do with not properly addressing the underlying issue. That is, not properly filling said crack or chip and not properly preparing the surrounding area.

 

I can tell you they didn't bother with a color match on the dash and pod, they took the same approach as a body shop and recolored the entire dash panel A lot more prep but well worth the end result.

I am not sure I would want to try a kit, I am sure its ok as a patch, but the pro's make everything they touch new. Well worth the extra expense.
