Expedition Seat and Console Options

[Ginther]

Question:

Is the Duplicolor HVP-109 and HVP-111 an exact match for the factory plastic on the door panels and dash?

I bought some stuff from an upholstery supply place, I think it's called ColorBond, and it's close, but not exact. I also bought a can of paint from SEM I think, and it's not exact either.

The colors on the sample sheet looked dead on, but the test parts I sprayed last night....... not so much. :??:

I want an exact match, but this trial and error is getting expensive. Those cans from the upholstery shop were about $12 each and so far only one is going to be "close enough" to use.

They aren't exact, but it's damn close.

I got my seat bottom back from the upholstery shop yesterday. I re-assembled the seat last night and set everything in the truck to see how it's coming together.

I'm happy with the seat, but the console isn't done yet. The dark gray paint isn't dark enough. I might try to find a darker shade. And I still need to re-cover the lid.

I'm also building a sub enclosure to go behind the seat. I wasn't happy with the MTX Thunderform, so I decided to build a custom box.

It will hold two 12" subs and have in integrated amp rack below the back window.

Here's a couple pics..... more to come as I make progress.

Ginther, that box looks really good... I am anxious to see it in the truck!

What did it cost to get the seat bottom upholstered?

 

[svt5.4]

How did he know how much to cut if you assembled everything. Did he have the pan and not put it on to see if it would fit??

Thanks!

I found a local shop to cut the fabric/foam down and re-sew it for $85.

Yes, I sent the pan with the seat bottom foam and fabric. The factory bench foam already has a line molded in to it that lines up perfectly where you'd cut it down to make a bucket seat size foam pad. So it wasn't too hard for him to figure out.
