Hey guys,
I need a good upholstery guy to replace the leather armrest on our console.
Has anyone here had this done?
Any recommendations?

Cheers

Where are you located? Paul Miller at CoverIt has done a couple for me. He is an upholsterer by trade and makes speaker bags for pretty much every production company in the country.

Here is a couple of pics of a armrest he did for a Yamaha M7 for me, the original was just vinyl over steel chassis, this is a tontine padded satin type vinyl the same as he uses on the inside of his speaker covers.

hmm how hard could it be? Bit of padding, vinyl, staple gun (or spray glue) and 30m? :)

Otherwise any upholsterer could do it, especially a car seat one would be experienced in vinyl.

Not hard at all. Especially if you don't mind F@#$ing it up... then it's a doddle.

Speaking from experience.
