It looks like I'll probably have to take off my original rollbar/sail vinyl to do may body resto/repaint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

So who sells the best quality & closest to original leatherette/vinyl material recover kits???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I've seen them at AA, PP, Pelican & Camp914 - sometimes with drastic price differences. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

So who offers the best one from the originality/CW perspective? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

...which is why it's posted here & not in the garage forums. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I have seen/used Camp 914's product and it is indistinguishable from original in my opinion. And as I recall much less costly than other sources. Craig buys bulk roll and cuts it to pattern himself.

Do you have any comparison pix you could post Jim?

Yes - he's half or less than the others!

Does Camp914's hold up to weather & sun as well??
....er - well - weather then, you're in OR! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

No pics and no longer own the car I installed it on. Not certain, but I suspect the product is the same from all vendors. Can't be too many manufacturers of pebble-grain black vinyl.

Got mine from AA in 1979. Know George still has them, but so does Stoddard, PP, etc. Not a tough part to find, byt check out the texture on any/all.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Pat, that's what I was hoping - someone who's done it already could provide input on the closest texture matches & best durability in weather & sun fading??

Is the current AA product the same as yours & a good match? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I won't ask about weather resistance & sun fade on yours, with it never seeing much outside since 79! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

BTW - how did the paint chip repair go?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

........My post - I'll go off topic if I want! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I can't speak to the current sail panel trim, but do know that the ones I bought years ago are dead on. George - you may want to step in here......

The paint chip is still there. Weather turned cold early, so I'm in a waiting pattern. Chip is cleaned out & treated w/alcohol, so it's just waiting for garage temps above 65 degrees.

Camp 914 kit I used is a dead ringer. Find a good polisher to make your trim look like new

Since you're nearby, do you happen to have a bit of the excess trimmed material left that I can get to compare to the OE original material on my 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
