Check out the fade

I had been planning to reuse this fabric and glue it using the tutorials from here.

Ordering new fabric tonight

Can't really appreciate it until you see the original unfaded surfaces. Crazy.

Re: Check out the fade

wow - i wouldn't have thought the roof fabric would fade that much since it doesn't see direct sunlight.

I seen the fade situation with the headliner in my '84 T/A
My colour is "Royal" & so far after checking many suppliers, I can not find that colour. I keep trying.

Re: Check out the fade

Red fades badly. My whole interior was like that. I found the stock fabric and had my seats reupholstered, but the door panel fabric is still noticeably lighter. I still have some fabric but messing with those door panels looks like opening a can of worms (GTA panels).
