Sourcing ultrasuede/alcantara

Anyone know of any places in nz that stock either of these? Have had zero luck just browsing round the net.

Wanting to wrap my A,B and C pillars with something along those lines as i'm not sure trying to dye each one will net consistant results with the heavily perforated material currently on them.

The videos I watched of people dying car interiors went really well. The did full seats and it came out mint

Might have to watch a few. Just felt like it might pool funny in the spongy material and show up darker in those spots or something like that.

Yea man watch a few videos on youtube - I googled some reviews and was quite surprised!

I'm tempted to get some spare parts and give it a go

What about getting it flocked?

VHT sell a dye.

Maybe this stuff is the way to go, seems super counter intuitive using a spray paint type product on something soft but people seem to have good results and say the material softens to how it originally was after a month or so.

That was my first thought too.

here's a place in Hamilton that I know of: http://www.msfibreglass.co.nz/flock-coating-hamilton

What kind of cost is involved in flocking? If you removed the dash or pillars yourself and had them as prepped as possible before getting it done.

Sure you want Alcantara ?

It may be fake suede but still costs a small fortune.

A guy on another forum recently had the steering wheel of his 911 re-trimmed in Alcantara, it cost him £150 as no one in NZ could do it.
