ok, so i don't know where to go looking for fabric, i got lucky once at bouclair and got some fake leather stuff but it must of been a special thing casue i never seen it again.

i want some sort of leather looking fabric that i can stretch over funny shapes, im trying to re-cover my trunk linning/facia/panels.


bassically i have needed to re make all the panel to cover the metal out of fiberglass but i don't want to paint it and leave it fiberglass looking, i want some sort of material.

hrmmm, i wasn't convinced fabricland would have anything and i wasn't really willing to trip out to markham or scarberia to find out its no good, the Thornhill one got replaced by some korean shopping foodland.

our local one didn't have too many choices in terms of color. i couldn't actually find the grey i needed to match my door, so i went with black, it looks pretty good. quality wise the vinyl isn't as tough as car factory, but seems pretty good. there are prob other places, but i don't know any...
maybe hit up yellow pages for fabric places and call them up.

ok, so in my head my panels were going to look sweet, but in reality its another story, i thought i knew what i was doing but i clearly dont, good think i got the cheap stuff so i only just wasted 15 bucks, most of which i hope i can salvage

anyway, has anybody come across any websites that may detail how to do this? i tried google but didnt come up with anything worth while

also, i have a feeling im going to have to sew a few things cause it's not streching the way i hoped, so now im gonna have to learn to sew, assuming im even spelling it right.

also, its not sticking very well, im using the 5 doller elmers spray glue instead of the 15 doller 3M one, could this be part of my problem? its rediculously more money tho
