hi, i was wondering what others have re-covered their door cards with?

i'm looking to cover in black material, not leather or vinyl.


cheers

what about carpet

kinda wanted something like whats there... but black...

sorry should have metioned that.

what sort of material is it? its not your average cotton sheet stuff...

i thought about felt... but would that just absorb more moisture?

cheers

When I came recover mine I spent ages going around market stalls and small shops and they all basically said the same thing it is a specialist material so I ended up using vinyl.
However some one recently reminded me we have a local marine upholsterer and they can often get specialist materials
Hope this helps

i thought that possibly i could dye the material bit and spray the vinyl bit? would that work?


how long does it take to dye something like that?

oh... and is that vinyl paint any good?

cheers

you could use alcantara if you want something more 'fabric' like?

not that expensive!

just do a Google search, I'm sure you will find a supplier! alternatively give your local Dumelm a ring, they most likely sell it, but most likely only have about 3/4 colours!

'velour' is the name of the original type material as used on the mini 25, jet black, mayfair etc doorcards.
