Suede interior?

This is the only piece I could actually bolt up against a non-wrapped piece. Feels oh so soft. Ive already wrapped a couple other pieces with great results.



I know it looks a little blue in the picture (must have been the flash), but in person its jet black. Actually blacker than the dash itself.

Should I wrap the whole interior in this? Dash, doors, and headliner? Im wrapping all the hard plastic pieces with this. Basically the only stuff in question is stuff thats wrapped in vinyl right now.

Might be a bit much. You might want to do leather in some spots to contrast the surfaces. Or you could wrap everyting in velvet (ala George Costanza).

some moron(no offense) wrapped a good ammount of my interior in suede. If you want to trade the panels that I have already wrapped, I'd be down for that. Some need to be reglued, but that shouldn't take much. I hate it so much

I wouldn't do the whole interior, it will just look cheap IMHO. I'd wrap certain peices but defnitly not the whole thing, kind of like door card inserts etc.

Got pics of it? Is it a dove (light) grey or a darker charcoal?

for some reason, black suede usually looks bluish in pics. a buddy of mine is doing his 300ZX's interior in suede and the pics came out the same. i think the suede looks amazing, but only if there is a decent amount of non-suede material (especially leather!) to offset it.

Depends on the type of lighting. Flourescent lights leave black/grey/white colors showing a bit bluish. Incandescent bulbs make things look golden/yellow. Only outdoor natural light really gives a neutral white balance.

So if you're looking at a pic and the colors seem off, consider what color light might be illuminating it.
