Thought id try my hand at some trim work

starkersEB · 28-08-2006, 01:13 AM

Like title says thought id do some trim work after being inspired by a couple of members here, I got some faux suede and sort of used a bit of trial and error to get it looking like this, its not %100 finished but here it is for now. Eventually im thinking about doing the A,B, and C pillars and maybe do something with the concave at the bottom of the doortrim oh and also contemplating the parcell shelf. The only problem is that being faux suede it has no stretch at all so its hard to get it to follow curves. But heres some pics for now anyway.

looks tidy, i recently did something similar but with vinyl.

if you want to paint the door handles in a similar grey, try the basic interior/exterior grey spray paint from supercheap auto. cheap paint but comes up a treat. matches my dash and trim pretty well.

Cheers for all the feedback guys im bloody stoaked at the way it came out for first go.

I took out an A pillar today and i see what you mean it so hard to get the material to follow the shape, I think i might just stick to some more door trim work and parcell shelf for now!!

Pouki · 31-08-2006, 12:46 AM

looks really good mate nice handy work :thebirds:

starkersEB · 18-09-2006, 01:19 AM

Heres some a couple of additions i finished today. Im pretty happy with the way it came out, its not %100 finished im thinking it needs something a little extra but i dont know what. Im going to start the parcell shelf next, should be fun lol.

starkersEB · 18-09-2006, 01:21 AM

Oh yeah i did the backs also but lost the pics, oh and also before anyone says anything yes i do need a new/better doortrim

LukeyBAXR6 · 18-09-2006, 01:22 AM

CaRtZ · 18-09-2006, 01:34 AM

Cheers mate, I just started bu cutting a cardboard template then tracing it to some MDF and cut from that, it just took a little triming etc.. to get the shape right. Then i just bunged some foam on it then the material all in all it only took about half a day. I cheated a little and just glued them in for now :hihi: but it seems to hold up ok.

I reckon ill start the shelf on the weekend if all goes well ill keep ya posted

galapogos01 · 20-09-2006, 08:43 PM

-jjM- · 20-09-2006, 08:45 PM

i like i like, good work mate, love the bottom part the most, makes it look alot better filled

starkersEB · 25-09-2006, 12:34 AM

Heres the parcell shelf mostly done i just have to finish up a few small bits. Ill post some more pics when i get it all done. Im thinking about doing some kind of build out on it but i cant think of exactly what yet.
