Title: Roof lining
Post by: DJ on May 05, 2014, 12:03:50 PM
Probably a question for Stinky reading through the old posts - has there been any progress with sourcing the original pattern from the states?
I'm after some in light green for a sedan. I spoke with someone in Melbourne who had just received the light blue pattern from the US.
He said he will send some photos of the FC he's doing for a client.
His experience with the cost of freight & the slow response from the states sounded similar to many posts.
I see a site for Original Auto Interiors is still active but I don't know who his supplier is.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Dave.

I am still waiting for 2 rolls from the states (1 roll Off-white head liner and 1 roll Station Sedan cargo area vinyl) all paid up front last August (2013) apparently they are aiming for a 3 week turn-around  :P
I'd be keen to speak to the bloke who got the Blue from the US as that would confirm that SMS is dicking me around more than usual  >:(

No email with photos yet this end. The only the detail I have is - Barry, 0425 762 018. The freight was apparently outrageous ($450) for a roll 4m x 137cm (at around $50).
He is in the same trade as you. No idea who he dealt with. Hope this helps a little.

Stinky,
No communication from Barry this end so I'll try him again for some photos.
Did you make contact?
Dave.

Hello Stinky,  wondering how you were going with the roof lining material as I'm looking for some in blue for a ute project

Cheers

The blue sold out ages ago and I am running low on the off-white (which could be coloured).
I am still weighing up the option of ordering more, wait times are horrendous and profit margins slim :/

No worries Stinky, please let me know if you get some more of the blue in.  How would you colour the White?
Thanks
Frank

You can buy vinyl paint and there are companies out there that specialise in vinyl repair and recolouring.
