No such thing as "decent" in my book :p haha kidding! That would mean theres gonna be gaps on the B pillar trim. But I've got that fixed anyway!

Re: Custom door panels (Y)
You sir are a professional
Re: Custom door panels (Y)
No wai! That is far from being a pro (N)
Re: Custom door panels (Y)
Blahh. Not perfect :\ Hate this but theres no way I'm gonna be able to get rid 100% of the wrinkles. I hate the area around the speaker but that is the best that I could do. I actually ripped them and redid the vinyl again because it was worse before (N). Just ask anybody that have done upholstery work before, shit isn't easy >< But yeah its not done, I still have to fix the upper and bottom part. I need a break ><

Re: Custom door panels (Y)
what kind of glue are you using? you need some really strong upholstery contact cement, don't use the spray stuff it's not strong enough to keep off the wrinkles, and eventually will start to release. start covering the center part with the armrest first and work out, also get one of those plastic wallpaper rollers. also what type of vinal are you using? if it's the heavy thick wallmart stuff forget it, you''ll never get the wrinkles out, you need automotive upholstery vinal, it's a lot thinner and it stretches much better then the thick stuff. there's a lot of it on ebay, let me know and i'll try to find you a link. people have been trying to stretch that thick vinal for decades, it never works.

I'm using some upholstery glue, its really strong but I guess its the vinyl being a little too thick :( I got them from local upholstery shop too. But its looking a lot better on the driver's side panel. I'm not expecting too much considering this is my first time dealing with stuffs like this. I have done simple flat surface which is a piece of cake. This is too much for me right now I guess.
But worst case, I'll just redo them (:

you are doing fine it takes practice is all, i'm going to redo the top of my doors and rear panels again, so i'll be getting some of the artificial leather, it's about 1/32 thick with a sprayed on foam back, it's just like the material used factory

Yeah thanks :) Considering this is the first time I'm dealing with curvy stuffs, which many agreed they look decent enough. I have OCD with things not being perfect though :thumbdn:
