I'm in the process of updating the interior of my van and intend to cover over the tatty black dash with some blue vinyl. However the colour range available in the uk is not too good.

Does anybody know of a good supplier who can provide light (baby or sky) blue vinyl?

Names of good suppliers are also welcome.

Have you tried these

Not tried them myself but looks like they have a good range and I'm sure they would send a few samples if you ask.

There's this company on ebay, they sell by the meter. They also have a direct website. I've requested some samples a day or two ago.

Ta for the links. Unfortunately I'm after the stretchable vinyl fabric I think It will give a better cover of the dash.

That said I'm getting a few samples to be sure

Just ordered some vinyl from Woolies:

Not got it yet (only ordered on Monday) so can't tell you any more, but their service so far has been great.

Cheers,

Good thought and I have used woolies in my previous life as a kit car owner. Very good service.

be carefull. light coloured dashes can reflect really badly in the sun. i`d lay a bit on the dash first as a tester to see.

I have found this company

www.ctptextiles.co.uk

Good range of styles and colours.

don't forget to use high temp contact adhesive (spray type will be easier on a dash) you may have to fit and sew it on a few places if you don't want any pleats and you can get the vinyl to stretch more if you warm it up with a hair drier as your covering the dash if you have any probs give us a call

Cheers I will do.

A quick review of the samples. Well the product is self adhesive and seems very easy to work with, it can be shaped round corners and curves (hair dryer possibly needed), it can be wiped clean and there are loads of colour and pattern choices.

The blurb on ebay says it can cope with freezing and high temps. It apparently can last outside for a couple of years as well.

Post some pics of your progress if you can. It would be good to see how your getting on.

My vinyl is arriving on Monday so all works starts then.

I will post some pics up on viewtopic.php?f=38&t=79528, but as you will appreciate it will be in a few weeks, hopefully. (Dubfreeze, I think we will, lol)
Can you post some pics of yours please, it's always interesting to see progress.

It's in bits at the moment once real progress has been made I'll be sure to post some up. Will need to sus out how first...

I know exactly what you mean. Have you checked out my link. Good luck with yours.
