Which vinyl do I need to buy for door panels?

[Purplehaze]

Hey guys, I am finally getting close to finishing up my door panels, and I want to order some black vinyl to attempt to wrap them with myself. But which vinyl do I need? There are several different choices, and I am not familiar with any of them.

Do I need the fleece backed kind, like this?

I did not click on the links but I would recommend a vinyl with a foam backing.

I would also recommend going to ur local fabric store and taking a look at some vinyls there, I wouldn't purchase off the internet

Thanks man, I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

For sure, I just went to a fabric store today and they had a selection of 30-40 different vinyls I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for.

I'm in the same boat your in but I think I going to have mine wrapped professionally (depending on cost). I did a little research and a 4 way stretch vinyl like this http://www.yourautotrim.com/al4stvi.html is supposed to make the job a lot easier.

Depends on how well the panel is prepped.

If its ready for paint then no backing needed.

If it looks ugly and has dimples and un-even spots then get it with close cell foam backing. It will cover most of that but has a padded look.

Like steve used a padded vinyl on his box but hid doors are no foam backing.

That will show you the look difference.

That way to expensive for vinyl at the fabric store its 5 bucks a yard. thats like one square yard or more, plus they have stuff they are just giving away

+1 thats true too, I prefer the foam backing on doors sometimes because it makes them look softer and comfier, but a thin foam backing like 1/8 thick

Thanks man, that's exactly what I needed to know. They will be finished for paint, and the look of Steve's doors are exactly what I'm going for.

Thanks Ray

Yeah, that is pretty high at $28 a yard. Don't think I'm looking to spend that much, I have all 4 doors to wrap.
