tweed or painted interior

[Leesmack]

i was wondering if anyone knew which one would be the most easiest to do?? and if anyone has any pictures of both interiors. i dont know which way to go with my interior. the only advantage i have with tweed over the painting , is my father-in-law knows how to do tweed though he lives 3 hours away from me. also any websites where i could buy tweed or good interior paint . thanks a million

using fabric to change the interior appearance comes out better looking, as long as the work is done right. painting it can look pretty good, but it will require a lot of prep work for the paint to stick to the plastic and look good.

id recommend getting a piece of tweed and wrapping a spare interior part like a pillar or a glovebox. if you like how it looks, go for the rest of it. the only parts that are hard about interiors is concave curves (ones that curve inward).

i jsut went to a fabric store picked up 2 years of black velvet and put it on my old healiner came out really well. it onyl cost me 16 for fabric and spray adhesive.

yeah definitely use fabric, do-it-yourself paint jobs crack easily and don't last long if you don't do it correctly

I'd suggest looking in your phone book for a fabric wholesale shop or something along those lines. I looked all over in stores selling fabric for cloths and furniture but no1 had what I needed.

Tweed looks MUCH nicer than paint, it is just more expensive and harder to install.

mine is tweeded Http://www.streetsourcemag.com/Profi...profileid=6954 ill let u know right now the dash and very rear panels are a complete bitch to wrap because of all the curves.... i got my tweed from http://shop.store.yahoo.com/yourauto...ore/index.html they have good prices and quick shipping

yea, tweed is a HUGE bitch when wrapping curvy things, i didnt do my 4th gen but i did do a vette and a few street rods and the dashes were a bitch to do.

[Leesmack]

thnaks for the advice. will you be seeing any creases when the corners or curves are tweeded?? are is there away to not show that

[1PhatCX]

it depends on how well u do it, if ur good enough at it, no u wont see creases. if ur not that great then yea u prolly will. best bet when doing the dash would be to do the top and bottom in 2 separate pieces. just take a panel like one in the back and practice on it untill you know what your doing exactly
