This was brought up by another poster on a slightly different topics so I am starting this topic.
I am looking for input from those who have new, stock appearing vinyl interiors in Studes .
1) What color it it?
2) How has your vinyl held up?
3) How long has it been in the car.
4) How do you use it (daily driver, trailer to shows)?
I just received my new rosemist vinyl today from a national supplier. I scrubbed a small spot at the corner and sure enough it is straight red vinyl under a thin coating of rosemist color. I wanted a stock interior, but at this price and knowing this, I was to be sure it will last. I took it to my upholsterer and he said he has seen it done and that he thinks they may have rushed it a bit and rolled it up too soon as it reeked of fumes when he unrolled it. He also said the should have said it was new and not original and offered some touch up color for scuffs. He didn't steer me away from it totally saying if its done properly (what I'm concerned about) it is not that different from what factory might do in production. I can't seem to find another source for this color, I'll may go another way entirely with my interior.
This is not the only issue. There is a repeating mark in the vinyl itself. It appears to be a flaw in the manufacturing. I noticed it right away when I unrolled it. I was thinking maybe its seconds quality or blems that is being used to make this color product.
I'm just looking for other experience on this matter. This is not meant as a rant or a vendor lynching.
PM for more info if you want.
