For 3 yards of Maroon crushed velour, $67.00

alot of shops here have gone to where they will not sell you material unless they do the work...I have never bought material by itself and wondered if this was a fair price

DRLOWZ · 08-20-2002, 04:46 PM

22 a yard sounds high to me...

UCYI3WL · 08-20-2002, 04:55 PM

Thats what i thought

can you do anything...It was just automotive crush velour in Maroon cool

DRLOWZ · 08-20-2002, 05:23 PM

Whats the difference between velour and velvet?

UCYI3WL · 08-21-2002, 11:21 AM

good question???

the only thing i have found that matches really well color wise is maroon crushed velour...Im ordering 5 yards of red and 5 yards of black for my 2 cars im gonna do in the coming weeks from ebay but they dont have maroon...my fukin luck!!

are you getting flat wrinkled pleated what?
cause i can get you Flat maroon for $17 a yard wrinkled for $25 and so on.. Its the good thick kind from a interior shop not the cheap thin kind that wears out like ya can get at the mom and pops fabric store.......

velour is kinda soft scratchy feeling-velvet soft and more of a flat silkeier feeling...

UCYI3WL · 08-21-2002, 11:45 AM

so i would get better quality velour from a shop, hence why they charge so much more??

And all im looking for is Crushed velour...Thats what i know it as anyway...looks like someone wrinkled it all up and you can see the crease marks in the fabric

this is my first time really doing it other than in my 61 where i just kinda threw it in there for Daytona

yeah mike that aint a bad price....kinda high but not too bad .....but yes you def want to get the thick stuff fromthe interior shopr not thin fromlike jo-anne fabric...Trust i've already been down that road and just saving ya the headaches and dissapointment...

Picked up some today for 15.90 a yard...ended up like 63 with the glue...They suggested 3M 8088 adhesive...Anyone ever used that?? Said to spray, let tack for about a minute then apply...Does that sound right???
