recovering plastic panels with vinyl

[skierkaj]

I don't really plan on doing this anytime soon, but when I do end up doing something to the car, I'll be sure to post the end results here. As for the not sitting flush part, you're never going to see the edges, as one panel covers the other, and all of the edges will be bent over to the backside of the panel. The number of complex edges where issues would occur are very minimal. Either way I go, I'll be sure to take my time and do it right. If I find some good quality panels, I'll go with panels. If not, It'll be vinyl.

Hello,
If you have a dashboard refurbishing company handy to your location, you might see if they can apply the vinyl to your part the same way they re-skin dash pads....heated vinyl drawn over the part by vacuum. It would mold instantly to the exact shape of your part. I'm going to see if my local guy can do a couple of Trans Am seat back panels that are a touch "second hand" so wouldn't look the best even if re-dyed.
