help! Reupholstering seats.

[robrez]

Bump for updates. Awesome that you picked up a new skill (sewing). My wife considers herself pretty good at sewing but she'd never tackle something like that.

Also, could you please share your carpet dyeing process, and color you went with. I'd like to replicate it. Plus it looks like this is M42 318i(s) carpet, which is the same as what I have. Thanks.

what did you do with the cloth covers? (original)

robrez; all I did with the carpet was took it out of the car, pressure washed it let it dry in the sun for a day and bought 6 cans of dupli-color satin black upholstery/vinyl paint. I sprayed the entire carpet and door panels. I didnt do anything special other than spray, let dry, run brush(a hard brush) to move the hair around and spray more coats.

Stumble t; original cover is in a box stored in my attic.

Did you have to find any foam to replace while doing this. I want to do my seats too but they need foam in a bad way. Looks great i love the color, looks like the 350Zs interior.

i just cut pieces of foam i bought from joann's fabric store and use a mess cloth to glue it in the hole. then covered it with the new vinyl.

While I was researching PastiDip, I stumbled across a foam filler by the same company, here's the link:

I haven't used it, but I'd like to get a review if someone does.
