Default Material to cover door trims

Hello Peeps!

Just enquiring what sort of material you should use for your door trims if you want to cover them for a different look/colour?

Also where can you obtain the material you have specified?

Thanks
Mark

You can get any material you want from Spotlight. I have a mate who has retrimmed his car's with a black vinyl and it looks exactly the same as leather. Looks quite good when its finished actually...

Suede is looks good but hard to keep clean not too expensive as you can by by the meter.

Vinyl looks cheap but is easy to work with and also by the meter

Leather is also easy to work with and easy to clean but is expensive as you need to purchase it by the cow

Normal material... dead easy to work with and cheap.... FTW

Interiors are completely dependent on how much you are willing to spend.

Any trimmer can sell you the material you choose.

Daleys (spelling) is a wholesaler for various materials.. not sure if they sell to the public.

Spot light would definitely stock vinyl but what colours is anyones guess... give them a buzz and ask that would be your best bet.

I disagree, Daley's on pilbara st welshpool, opposite amcap, is your best choice, automotive and marine upholstery.
