Danny great job on the interior especially the door cards. How did you match up the vinyl with the rest of the interior? I have got to do the top part of my door cards, i think they are grey from memory, but I haven't seen my car for a five years

Hey, There is a big vinyl shop nearby where i live, in Ghent, Belgium. They stock hundreds and hundreds of colors and qualities. Also very cheap. Maybe you can send them a sample, a piece of the old vinyl?
https://www.mobus.be/kunstleder. I think there must be a similar store in your area. if you can't find anything, i can sort it out for you over here.

Wow, that's a fantastic job
How did you achieve that finish? - I noticed the "a" 's are a slightly different typeface, which is a clue, but you'd never know unless side-by-side

Sanded the housing down to the bare metal. One good layer of epoxy primer, light sanding, two coats gray primer, sanding and three layers of blue topcoat. The lettering is done with decals a local sticker maker made up after scanning the original printed lettering.

Danny, would you be able/willing to post up the lettering scans here, so maybe I can organise something similar? I have a friend with a vinyl cutter setup. If you were closer I'd be happy to buy from you or the guy who did them, but the cost of posting would rule it out!
I have a spare air can that needs tarting up

They look fantastic
It is amazing how a bit of hard work & thought can transform them to that new look. You must be very happy with results & they will look great on the car
