Center console vinyl overlay #2929 Jan 31, 7:57am Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 608 South Sweden Spread Eagle Senior Member Spread Eagle Senior Member Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 608 South Sweden I did this yesterday. Instead of painting it I used vinyl. It was a little harder to do then expected. Well finally it turned out real nice.

Looks painted. Must have been tough getting in and around the corners. I assume you used a hair dryer. Bat-

Re: Center console vinyl overlay Blue Batmobile #2942 Feb 2, 8:35am Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 608 South Sweden Spread Eagle Senior Member Spread Eagle Senior Member Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 608 South Sweden Thanks guys for all the positive comments on my work. It was not easy to do, because all the corners and the plastic is actually a little bend. Like Andy said, using a hair dryer is absolutely a must. The heat makes the vinyl soften and more stretchable. Both the blue and the silver parts are made from one piece of vinyl. When you work with vinyl, remember to clean the surface properly. I use simple window cleaner. I still have the A/C and the last plastic cover around the stick to do.

And Can you provide some instructions? It's really easy to get vinyl sheet on the net.. You can get roll or by sheets.. Just check out ebay.. I've seen lots of cheap rolls of vinyls... Instruction... patiences... You just have to work around the corners and round parts... it's all in your hand and your hair dryer... most importantly.. extra hand would help out alot... I think if I have one more hand.. I can get this thing perfect...

I think it is much harder.. Here it is.. just finished.. It wasn't that hard. but covering that vent sliding pocket is almost impossible.. so I just lay some small sheet to cover that little part.. and apply the whole sheet on the whole AC area...

Very nice job.. I have problem with the area around the clock.. Since there is a big curve area.. vinyls are comming off in the inner area... I think it's too tight... Cutting out that area seems to be good idea... You little cut out desing is nice touch... I'll probably try that out...

Re: Center console vinyl overlay #2963 Feb 9, 7:53am Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 608 South Sweden Spread Eagle Senior Member Spread Eagle Senior Member Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 608 South Sweden Thanks Red Devil. You are absolutely right about the area around the clock. That needed a little compromise. Your work looks good too It is a very time consuming job. You will need a lot of patience and someone to help you out to hold the hair dryer. Anyway, my work is now completed and parts put back in the car...

I want to find out what stuff we need and how much we can get it for? I mean with all the people in this forum I think we might be able to pull it off. It looks really expensive but the look would definitely be worth the money...
