Postby power » Thu May 21, 2009 9:17 pm

anyone know where i can buy leatherette fabric, i've been chasing the extra material i purchased from ricerocket back in november, but he's after offering me a refund because he says he doesn't know when he'll have it! :evil: its cream leatherette, i really want to do the door cards!
i was thinking if there was a shop near dublin i could coulor match the material with the seats?

upholsterers may be able to help. I found the exact same shade of cream leatherette as mine on the seats of the QuickPark bus in Dublin Airport!

(I didn't steal it or anything!)

Might be worth contacting companies like KVC or Parfit.

I'd say an upholsterer is your best bet. Have a look in the golden pages. That's were I got the suede for my car and the guy in Limerick I went to had loads of different fabrics/leather, and could order other colours.
