Vinyl Restoration / Colour

Post by Ollie82 »

Hi there I have a Black Morris 1960 and the door cards are in good nic but have faded to a browny colour. I was wanting to colour them and was wondering if people had done this and if so what with?

Thanks

Hi
I assume the door cards weren't black though so what were they, red?

I've successfully used a touch up pen to cover scratches on mine www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261102106655

Perhaps finding a supplier of different sizes would allow you to get a small container to try on an area that's not usually seen, under a seat for example. You can then check for colour, quality and coverage.

Looky here: https://www.vinyldye.co.uk/
Plenty of colours there, or if you have any unfaded hidden-away flaps of trim you can cut off (1" square), these guys claim to be able to match them: https://www.kolorbond.co.uk/vinylkote-p ... her-vinyl/

Woolies in Peterborough partner with another company to supply proper leather or vinyl dye kits. You could ask somebody like Newton Commercial for a swatch to send them if you want the exact shade of black.
