JK door cards

Hi just brought a pair of JK door cards. I was thinking orininally that I would just spray them and be done but they are covered in holes. So i am gonna have to cover them but I dont know whether they should be covered over the clips or under?
If I cover them under there will be an aweful lot of black clips showing but if I cover them over then I think the clips are a little bit rasised and would probably make the covering lumpy.
Can someone tell me how to do these things
Cheers in advance
Paul

Cover over the clips

Put some curtain interlining on first then your choice of covering material. This will give it a padded look.

I covered mine in cotton. NOT a good idea as the sun bleaches this very quickly.

WHat sort of wadding as I have just got some foam padding and its a bit thin. I can see that you would need to least 5mm think to cover the clips. Well may be 3mm
Cheers

I used 4oz Polyester Wadding to give it some padding. I bought a 10 mtr roll for a couple of quid. I have loads left over if you PM your address i'll send some your way next week
