Trying to match trim


Recommended Posts

A very long time ago I bought a pair of seats to use in my TR3A rebuild. Although nowhere near ready for trimming, I am currently working away during the week and thought that I might usefully wile away the evenings by getting the various trim panels covered. I am pretty sure that the seats had been trimmed to match a TR 4 or 5 trim colour -they are a sort of medium tan- but I am struggling to find a match.

As you will see from the attached photo, the vinyl has a pebble grain which I would also like to match if possible.

I have been trying to remember where I went to buy them, in case anyone recognises the seats, but I am struggling...I am thinking it was NW London, but I could be wrong. The chap was an active local group member.

Any ideas as to possible suppliers, or the colour gratefully received.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks for the replies - I had already approached the usual suspects to see if I could get a close colour match. Martrim have the best so far.

 

The vinyl used is particularly heavy duty and has quite an unusual grain pattern which I would like to try and match. Thanks Steve for getting in touch and for the contact - I am a bit embarrassed that I had forgotten who I had bought them from, but it is a long time ago!

Any good?

 

I think that pattern of embossing may also be known as Sutton Grain in US.
