i have had a tough time trying to pick a material type for the trunk, leather, vinyl, something more fuzzy, still torn, got any ideas to share

i will never unpholster the neon's trunk in carpet
lol - you asked for an opinion [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

And....if you were thinking fuzzy but not carpet then what were you thinking???? Shop dog??? ;)

What about like Tim's Car, with a quality german carpet? Not the usual fuzzy crap that cheap cars come with.

lets just say that the trunk will not be carpeted, i shoudl have clarified what i meant when i said something fuzzy, i never dreamed someone would have thought i meant carpet. tim what was that stuff you used in the caprice you built at illusions, youve got some name for it and where do you get it, jackson, ennis?

Ah yes, Tim's "Houlio" which I believe is sold under the name Paylex. That's nice stuff.

Dereck Waller 02-26-2005 11:59 AM

That's the type of European carpet I was talking about. Not the fuzzt crap everyone uses, looks almost more like headliner material, but much stronger.

Paylex is a term for the type of material that most automotive manufacturers use for their interior material. The material that I use I have nicknamed it "houlio", the stuff that I used for years in my Toyota, Regal and several other cars is seat material from a 88 base model Firebird. The stuff I used in the cop car was from a GM of around the 91-94 era, but I can't remember what exact car it was. I get it all from Class Sea Textile, which used to be Vancouver Upholstery. It does not stretch what so ever, so it can be a bitch to work with, I have been able to do curved panels with it but they take hours and hours..........the wheel well covers in my Toyota took 5 hours and 3 people a side to do and there is a seem in them which you can't see. If you get a paylex type material and you are going to edge something or seam something make sure it has a black thread count, not a white count or you will see the white back thread when you "bend" the material.
