Mod-Look vinyl/faux leather, anyone know a source???

[manxdavid]

Does anyone know a supplier of mod look or paisley vinyl, something like this, I tried all the Mopar guys but I don't think they quite understand the concept of replying to emails...

[Yellermanx]

Sorry I can't help, but I dig your groovy thinking.

In a vinyl that's going to be hard to find anymore. Check some local fabric suppliers in your area. I did a quicky web search and found lots of "regular" paisley fabrics, but nothing outdoor quality. If all else fails, you could have a local sign guy do a wrap of the roof if you can provide a print sample.

Let me check with a friend who does auto upholstery. I want to have my roof done in that pattern as well.

I thought of a wrap but I really want the leather grain finish of vinyl.

I'm sure it's out there somewhere.

Thanks Louis, I don't think it'd take much, 2yds should be plenty unless it's really inexpensive then I'd get the seats done as well!!!

David, Whatever you are up to, it sounds interesting..

Maybe some patio furniture, or beach umbrella material?

Call the Mopar guys when you get over here.

Try calling these guys. They were supposed to be the one with the material.

What did Mopar offer that would have had material like that? Out of curiousity?

Wow, I don't recall ever seeing one of those in the wild.

I remember the Levi's Gremlin though

Try looking for marine vinyl. They stock it at the local fabric store; although not as funky as the picture you shown.

It has UV stabilizers added for outdoor use. I am going to make a bikini top for my buggy - the woman at the store looked at me odd when I said it was for a bikini. I tried explaining, but only dug deeper - when will I learn to keep quiet?

David,

No joy on the vinyl. My friend suggested getting some cloth and coating it with a clear varnish. Not sure how that would work though.

I'll bet that if you supplied the base colored marine grade vinyl that these folks http://www.polysigns.co.uk/inkjet_printing.html
could produce just what you need.

[manxdavid]

Thanks for all the ideas. I've had some horendous prices for custom printed stuff, so I can't get hold of some original stuff I probably won't bother.
