Well, I'm getting ready to re-do the interior of my '78 Trans Am, and am trying to figure out how much material I will need to order for the job. It's currently got the original all-black vinyl upholstery, and I've decided on doing it in black vinyl with red vinyl inserts/accents - slightly custom, but not drastically different than stock - and I'm planning on doing it in Spradling's "Rogue" line of vinyl (Crimson and Black).
My plans are to upholster the 2 front bucket seats, the rear bench seat, both door panels, sun visors, and other smaller accents (console glovebox pad, shifter boot, etc). I had replaced the carpet a couple years ago, and the previous owner had the headliner re-done so both of those will not need to be touched. So with that in mind, does anyone have any ideas as to the amount of vinyl I need to pickup? I was originally thinking 3 yards of Crimson and 5 yards of Black, but reading some other posts makes me think that might not be enough. Would 4 yards Crimson and 8 yards Black be a better option (the Crimson will be used as inserts and accents, with Black being the main color)? I'm also factoring in a bit extra just in case I flub up somewhere.
Thanks!
