Getting welts! (Not what you think)
#21
I have 5000' feet of welt. How much ya need?
After sending 4-5 Mustang folks to Mr. Mikes and most of them getting the cold shoulder, I decided to get into the Welt business my own sweet self. I will be posting pics later on tonight/this week. I have natural colors for Redfire, Torch Red, Windveil Blue, Perf White and a slick little welt called silver tinsel (great for lite IUP). None of these need to be painted. I have premixed bottles of GRABBER ORANGE. I'm working on a Vista Blue. Nothing concrete there. I have something for the Screaming Yellow fans, too,
It takes 80" or 6.8 feet to do one door, so I sell 14' (Two 7' sections). If you want to do the headliner, let me know, I'll include enough to do that, too. The headliner is 48" per side. I'll include two 52" pieces.
The cost for 14' of Grabber Orange or Screaming Yellow is $17, or $21 for 14' PLUS enough to do the headliner. Remember, you have to paint it, but I include the paint! (Working on a Vista Blue...)
For the "standard" colors, $12 for 14', $16 for 14' PLUS headliner. (Standard colors: Redfire, Torch Red, Windveil Blue, Perf White)
For the "silver tinsel", $15 for 14', $19 for 14' PLUS headliner.
All prices include shipping.
PM me here at TMS to get the ball rolling!

Stand by for PM...
How closely does the Silver tinsel match the IUP "Aluminum" dash? Can you take a picture of the two next to each other for comparison please?

Drew,
The Silver Tinsel is an excellent match for the lite (aluminum) IUP...
I will be happy to post pics. I need a day or two. I took them, but had to help the wife last night and could not upload them. What I need is a good Saturday afternoon so I can take comparison shots in natural light. The flash is not getting it done. I'll post what I have, then update the pics when I get some decent 'natural' shots.

Drew, here's a shot of the Silver Tinsel next to the standard 5/32nds welt (Called 180 welt). It's a little smaller, but very classy. This should tide you over.
How about I send you a free sample? I'll extend this offer for anyone thru January 31st, 2007. Just PM me with your address and what colors you'd like to see. PLEASE WAIT A DAY UNTIL I POST THE COLORS. I know you guys are excited. I'm a little behind, LOL. Here's a pic of just the silver tinsel. OTHERS are coming. Please hold PM until Jan 24th. TYVM.

Here is my original thread here on TMS which shows my welt. IN THIS THREAD YOU CAN SEE SILVER TINSEL. Just scroll down to the 15th post. That particular car belongs to one of my Moderators at GrabberOrange.net, Chris (aka CelticNut). Again, I apologize for not being better prepared with the pics. Soon... SOON!

Eric,
Yes, you CAN paint it, and while it takes a little effort, the look is tight. I've used acetone on a rag and give it a good swipe or two. This will get all the body oils and mode release off of the welt. You'll want to use acryllic paint. This has a bit of flex (bendable). I prefer to paint the welt as it leaves it with a nice flat finish. When its installed 'as is' (if you have one of the 4-5 more common colors) it looks great, however there is a slight sheen to it. Very slight, but there.

Has anyone done this on a car with the standard/base interior?
I do not have the upgraded interior with the leather panels and the welt just won't work unless I glue it or something. The gap is too big or not deep enough to hold it in place. Anyone tried glueing it or using somekind of silicone adhesive? I am interested in seeing the windveil blue when you have it because I can use it on the headliner and other places.

OK, I got a chance to step outside on an overcast day. Natural light, no flast, but zero sunlight. Here is the shot that I think bests displays the AVAILABLE colors (read: no painting). Legend Lime is no longer available but if you wander into an automotive interior place, you MIGHT find some. The two on the right are smaller in size. They still work very well. Just not as BIG and BOLD. The silver tinsel is downright classy. The yellow would look good in a SY Stang. If you wanted the larger welt for SY, you'd have to paint it. Also, the Alloy is NOT black. It is a very dark grey. It would show up on black doors, but it would be very sublte... classy.
OK, here's that pic I promised you yesterday! Then, I'll follow it up with my own custom mixed Grabber Orange!

PM me for a sample. Personally, I think the headliner is too much. But, understand this is coming from a guy who wants to have the interior of his Grabber Orange Stang redone in two tone leather with Grabber Orange where the perforated surfaces appear on all four seats. Isn't THAT too much? I say "NO"... Remember, it's what looks best to YOU.
