Well done, you got the edges neater than mine. Is there a part no on that 3M - think that might have been my weak link.

Hell I can't remember what I even bought 🙄 AutoZone make sure you wait the 5 min. until you stick them together. Start from the middle and work you way out.

Leather vs. Vinyl

Traco, I also redid my interior in leather. I originally purchased a piece of vinyl but found it was too thick to conform to the curves and then fold over the back. I purchased a woman's lamb skin leather coat at the local thrift store for $8.00 (US). I think you will find the softer leather much easier to work with. Contact adhesive works perfect for attaching the leather. Good luck!

Got sick of looking at this, so


Probably order the correct paint and do it over. It's a little off.😐
