Interior shop wanted $2600 to recover the front seats of my 95 classic

used Lseat.com : two front OME seat replacement in leather $385.00. About 4 hrs to remove and recover.

Used roverclassic on eBay to redo wood trim.

Seen kits for $3600.00. Got the center console wood for $155 and door trims for $165.00

used plastic vintage tan paint to respray interior and door cards
5 cans: $70

That roverclassic stuff is just decals that go over the original?

 

[JWR xjresto]

Actually it replaces the original door and dash trim. So far sticks really good, has a 3m backing on them.
On the center console you have to remove the old wood trim with a chisel from the wooden console panel. Then replace the new onto it.

Thanks. I guess my point is, the price difference is because of the difference in product which is 3M/Rubber/Vinyl versus Wood/Veneer/Epoxy. Looks good though!

Can you post a pic or details of the door card spray paint? And thanks for posting...I've been wanting a 'sticky' thread for inexpensive restoration idea, or substitute parts (GM window motors for example) that people have done successfully

Hope the wood trim stays stuck down…. Well see
And the interior paint for the panels:
I used

@JWR xjresto: Did Lseat include the armrest covers or, did you have to purchase them separately? Also, what leather and thread color is pictured? Did you recover the headrest?

Thank you!

Includes headrest and armrest covers. Color S0014 bisque thread color L014 bisque.
Will say they are a little lighter in color than the back seats which I didn’t recover.

finished product with the wood trim and front seats redone

Being an Upholsterer of 40 plus years here is a tip that will also save your seats: When replacing covers, pull all the foams off seat frame, spray glue burlap (10 ounce Jute is the best) to the backside of foam. Especially any place that has direct contact with the steel frame.

You can also go overboard and have the frames powder coated to protect against rust. Not only does burlap add years of wear protection to the foam, it also provides a tad bit of support and firmness.

Looks good! May I ask what colour you used? Lark? Beige?

 

[JWR xjresto]

Beige….it is a little lighter than the original back seats.

I have used acura beige, I believe both sem and duplicolor carry it. nearly dead on identical match.

 

[JWR xjresto]

Have a pic of the Acura beige ?

 

[95classiclwb]

the can I will have to look for it , of the outcome I dont have a pre but could take pics of post, granted it has been about 3 yrs maybe more since my attempt at dressing interior.
let me find the can and top as Saved it for future reference, then compare to rear leather color as it is untouched and you can see the match.
will do asap.
