Leather Trim

CBRacerX,

I just bought a lambskin leather jacket from the thrift store for $5. I used the standard contact cement in the small brown colored bottle from Lowes/Home Depot. I di not use any felt or backing but just cleaned the pieces the same was as the console and then carefully covered. Photos attached and very pleased with results.

Thanks, I have very thin lambskin ready to use. Did you apply the contact cement to to both surfaces and wait for it to skin over? Or just to the part you were putting the leather on?

Did this over the weekend to the door pocket covers. A little soft black lambskin, some contact cement, a little patience and viola! Looks and feels great. Next up is the plastic covers near the door handles.
