Seat Fabric - Where From???

[Anonymous]

I am after some fabric to recover some SR Seats, not the original stuff, but something of same fabric.
Does anyone know where i could get some from, preferably in or around sheffield but i may travel if necessary.
Also, how much am i looking at paying for it?

cheers.

Keith did you re-spray the car yourslef?

[Anonymous]

hey keith mate why dont you do a seats retrim guide for novaload? Loads of peeps would find it useful. I know I would my seats look semi-digested

[Anonymous]

yes i sprayed the car myself aj not 1000% yet but hey ?42 who cares better than most spray/bodyshops i know, and micky i have a new job now and i am workin all the hours god sends xmas an all that, plus gives me extra to spend on my motor

blondie will sort a retrim guide out for the site as i get a few mails on the subject so it would prob be easier all round by the way all them wheels in the pics are history got some 15's on now looks miles better

Did you do the respray in your own garage or something keith? and what stages did you go through to get such a good finish?

[Anonymous]

i used about 7/8 primer stages used a dual action sander (da) in between coats 180 grit
then wet/dry down to finsh use a tack cloth then respray as for a garage i have one but it is to small to get around the car so i watched the weather for a week or so and they said it would be superb weather on this particular day(saturday) so i geared everthing towards this day all the front valance,rear, and sills including in the door area were stonechipped then lightly rubbed down prior to paint then all masked up on the friday and painted saturday afternoon all done outside only got one bad bit a blade of grass about 1/2 inch long landed on the bonnet but my vent will cover that must get around to doing it soon

to finish 1500 wet/dry then all brought back up with a buffer/polishing machine
i used to do motors years ago amazing how you dont forget ;) hope this gives you an idea to the work involved by the way i used 2.5 litres of opel atlantis blue
