cloth on side door??

[DookieGraphics]

i wanna change the color of that leather/cloth on the side driver & passenger door. is it possible to paint it with some special paint? Mine is blac leather and i wanna change it to white. Or is there a place where you can just purchase csme colored leather cloth? Thanks

um i woudln't paint it. i would think that paint on material would easily crack. especially heating up and drying out in the car. just get some cloth.

Have an interior shop do that - its not as simple as you think, especially working with leather.

yeah...i saw that on ebay too...just wondering if i can just buy the fabric somewhere else for cheaper and just do it my self..

all its selling is cloth. DUH. its precut *WOW*

just go get red cloth, and then pop the side door out with a screw driver or something that can pry it out. then put the cloth around it, sew it on or staple gun it for all i care, just make it stay. Then push it back in

kewl...thanks banana....do you know where i can get some cloth or imitation leather cloth fabric?

[baNanA_ryCe]

ummm nope no idea about the leather stuff. I'm getting regular cloth from a sewing store. i dunno what its called, but u gotta have a sewing store somewhere that sells cloth material. Don't buy cloth from an alteration store though, it might be expensive.

[baNanA_ryCe]

the cloth on the door is simple to replace fiind the material you want .... take a flat head and pry out the only material then use old material for new patern on new cloth. take 3M spay adhesive to the back of the cloth you will use not to much or it will show threw make sure you have all the old foam off of the door panel mask panel off and spay adhesive to panel wait for both to get tacky and then place cloth in desired area smooth from center out . last but not least take your flat head and begin tucking all edges back into the slot around insert

thanks a lot juice....i'm doing that soon, but one question: if i use the 3m spray adhesive, can i undo it if i want to sell my car again? as in...is this permanent

the armrest part is removeable easily...the side is glued on...i have my doors done in white...the sides i used a trim ring as well to cover up the tucks really good, plus, i like the way it looks...i wouldn't suggest dyes as i've used it in the past and it cracks and makes a mess...
