Door fabric: Repaint or Re-upholster?

**squala** · December 3rd, 2005 01:46 AM

The ones in my car are starting to fade. I tried cleaning but they still looked so dull.

I want them to look like new again, so I will need help from you guys on the best thing to do. Painting over the fabric is quite easy to do, but I'm worried that the paint will crack and chip off in the future. Do textile paints sold at National cut it? I'll definitely do this if you can recommend me a durable paint, perhaps spray can.

If I am to resort to re-upholstering, what shops can do this, and around how much?

Thanks in advance

Corolla GLi 96, with the tiger stripe door fabrics. They're just subject to fade over time - too bad I could have found them nice looking.

caloyski5, where is this Seatmate you're talking about?

Thanks

Dont repaint it dude. It would look awful. I have seen several cars that look horrible because they repainted the sidings.

Better option is to reupholster the sidings. There are cheaper solutions, use vinyl instead of leather and that would pull your cost down.

I think the price quoted is already for 4 sidings... per door seemed to be too costly.

or you can just peel them off and clean the adhesive residue off tapos lagyan mo ng armor all after.

This may be OT: How much naman aabutin kung re-upholster ng door sidings and the seats themselves? (yung non-leather/leatherette, just regular material)
