jeepsouth Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'll have to see if my top part of the bench zips off. If it does it's going on the washing machine! :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I looked long and hard when I had the bench for a replacement because the tweed cloth sections between the vinyl was toast. There were none, So I pulled the entire seat cover and had an upholstery shop replace the cloth and reused the vinyl. Cost less than $100.

1990 Pioneer 4x4 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I went with the reupholster everything route twice. First time in leather (poor choice) and the second time with thick vinyl for about $150. Protect your head and buy some head rests. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommaComanche Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I would like to do something like this in mine:   This obviously is not a Comanche bench but this is the basic idea of what i'd like to do with mine.Anyone have a guess as to what this might cost? I wanted to go the leather route but I have heard a lot of people say that vinyl is the better way to go. I am thinking white with black piping would look pretty awesome. Toying around with the idea of a white headliner to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500kalle Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Mine was completely rebuild(even the foam) and Covered with red and Black leather by an upholstery shop, I installed a New red carpet too and I covered The headliner with Black leather myself. Â Â Â Â Â And I modified an Old Xj Headliner console to fit in My MJ Â Â Â Centre console with Cup holder I modified from XJ Parts too!! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubberDuck Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I just picked up a bench seat from PickNPull yesterday, it's in reallty good condition, but i want to go from tan to black/grey. Has anyone here used that Duplicolor vinyl/fabric spray before? how did it turn out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500kalle Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Caution: Don't use that dupli Color Spray!!!!!! If The Seat will become hot from Sun, you will glue on it!!!! Try a Good Color-Spray for Lexan Bodys for e.g. 1:10 Scale saloon racers!!! But try to Spray a Little Spot First, let it dry and then Test The quality!!!!!!

Like Tamiya? would that still work on fabric? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
