How To Refurbish Your Door Pillars, Update with middle ones

Here you go, not being big headed, but they look good, takes about 1 to 1.5 hours each set, well worth the time, i could have done them in grey leather i sopose but i like them lighter rather than dark, i will do that back ones next week, then try and sort something out with the sunroof lining, it looks crap as it is






Just to update this a little more, I have now done the pillars in a fabric, my roof lining dropped since this was done ans the sunroof lining as well, so I thought I would start again and do everything, the only thing I left was the 2 A pillars, as I liked the brighter cream, I did the pillars in a grey Faux Suede Upholstery Fabric, and a cream Suede Upholstery Fabric, and in my opinion it looks a lot better than the original (jut my opinion) but its brighter inside and looks lush!!

they look very nice you got your next door neighbour doing his:5bparty: bernie

What cloth did you use to cover them? I've been planning on dong mine for a while, all of them are knackered.

That's looking really good Dopey.

Tempted to get some leather for doing mine, but I'm also wondering if (in the manner of the crinkle effect paint used on MGB dashboards) you can get paint that gives a leathered effect - I know what a mess I'd make of stretching leather over the convoluted pastinc mouldings in the middle pillar.

Anyone know of anything suitable?

Cheers,

Malcolm

If you can find the surgeon who did Rita Faircloughs face lift, he should have plenty of crinkle effect leather lying about

Its leather

It doesn't need to be stretched, you just glue it on, look at my other posts on how to do it, with picks too
