Finding it VERY difficult to match color and pattern Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Fri, 7 Jul 2017 16:29:06 In Reply to: Vinyl and Leather Source, Bill Homer [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 29 Jun 2017 19:51:09 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The upholstery guy and I went through four books of automotive upholstery samples today trying to find something very close to the color and texture of the vinyl darts in my '08 9-5 Aero seats. No luck. He clipped off a piece of the delaminating vinyl and will spend his free time over the next few days examining the hundreds of partial bolts of upholstery in his shop, hoping to find something close enough.
Initially I was just planning to do both darts on the driver's seat cushion only, even though only one dart is delaminating. I may have to replace the seat cushion AND seat back darts to make it sufficiently difficult to detect a color difference.
