ok, yesterday i molded my tweets into my a-pilars. now i was thinking of painting them, but instead i think i want too use a vinyl(sp?). wo i was wondering if there was any type of vinyl that would strech just a wee bit(the mold only sticks out of the a-pilar maybe 1-2 mm max)? and to attach the vinyl to the pilar i should use? i was thinking like a 3M spray glue, but you guys would know better then me so what ya think would be best? and is there a certian type of vinyl i should look for?

i need too know ASAP as im going out shortly so i can pick up what ever i need then.

Thanks,
Dallas

Go to Ron Upolstry on Regent (Across from canadian tire)

Assuming you want just plain black, They have a 4-way stretch vinyl that works great.

For glue, 3m High strength 90 works well as long as you dont have any depressions. If so then contact cement.

Why not just shoot it with some texture spray, and then paint to match the interior colour??
