I am looking for INTERIOR upholstery fabric to re-upholster a 1992 Chapperal Signature<br />300. It is in great need of new fabric as the prviouse owners were not very kind to it.<br />If anyone knows where I can find fabric that can be used for boar interiors, I would <br />greatly appreciate if you could let me know.<br /><br />Best regards!<br />Bigeasy

Are there any Awning people in your yellow pages?<br /><br />I have a friend in the awning business and he is able to get some great fabrics and vinyls. Very weather resistant stuff. Just an idea.<br /><br />Bob

Bob:<br />It is not necessary to have it be weather resistant but a heavy fabric would last longer.<br /><br />Thanks for the idea.<br /><br />Regards!<br />Bigeasy

Any material has to be all synthetic. No cotton or wool or linen. Something poly--------- would do. My interiors were thin and frayed, so when the exteriors were done I had the Titanium White Naugahide put on all the interior cushions. Looks better than the origional blue shirtlike material. Spills wipe clean. Labour is more costly than any material in upholestry. :cool:
