Upholstery Help

[AL-58]

If the PV fabrics are meant for it thats fine, but I've experienced a few synthetics that pill or ball up on wear areas in the past.

It couldn't be more extreme than a car we did for a charity rally a few years ago. We had rolls of a yellow/white/red tartan upholstery material that were given to us(no clan, I'm sure) It was a 1963 compact Fairlane, all the seats were tartan, the doorlinings were tartan with some red piping, the rooflining was basically red vinyl with two tartan sections/stripes running front to back. It was a fun job or my students, I'm sure it gave the drivers a few headaches though

The pilling was part of my concern but looking at the sites mentioned above it is the Poly blends that suggested for upholstery.

Your tartan car sounds great but mine won't be that wild. The tartan will only be on the centre sections of the bottom and back of the seats (bolsters will solid) and an accent panel on the door panels.

Still open to suggestions for tartans whose main colour is a medium blue, preferably one with minimal green. Thanks
