Cuda put a Formula logo on his sunpad and it turned out pretty good. Try a search.

 

If you are getting it done locally, the shop you use should be able to get a color match for the pink.

 

Sounds like a great Idea!

Let us know how it turns out!

 

get rid of the pink

 

I just had the pad done on my Baja along with the back bench. Cost 17 bones, but the shop that did it does super work. I'm curious how a local shop will do the knight, though.

 

I had mine recovered. As best I remember, it was somehwere between 3 and 4 hundred dollars.

 

You should get a local shop to do it for you . Your lumber in the pad is prolly rotted , so plan on cutting a new one . And I'm sure you can match the pink if you want to keep it stock . But if not just take out the pink and stick with blue and white .

You should be able to find a superior vinyl with backing since your getting new material . One thing I would consider , that is a high traffic area with ppl stepping on and off there . You might want to consider a pattern that will hold up to that kind of abuse . The horse emblem might look good but how sturdy will the stitch job be with all those intricate curves and turns . At least with straight lines and semi curves you can do a french stitch which is sewn together then reinforced with another row of stitching . Very durable . And looks good . You will also have to cover your pad under the vinyl with plastic as to keeping your pad and wood dry .

Its not hard to do once you get into it . You prolly can save yourself some money if you remove the skin yourself and just have a new one made . Then replace everything yourself .

You might call Checkmate and ask them if you can buy just a new skin . They should have all the dimensions on hand . I would talk with their parts department about that .

 

Yeah, I probably got "Hi-grossed", but in fairness to them, there are 3 colors, and all the wood needed to be replaced. Anyway, it's done now. I did get a FREE coffee mug out of the deal, though.

 

I had the the hatch on CarBiz's Formula done by my vinyl guy and it was around $350.00 I think for a 3 color sunpad. When it was finished CarBiz said it matched perfectly. :bigsmile:

Had my old Dominator hatch done for around the same price 3 or 4 years ago. Which included cutting and mounting the scoops.

 

I had mine recovered. As best I remember, it was somehwere between 3 and 4 hundred dollars.

Cuda,

You shouldn't quote prices to all of us one boat owners who don't get the multiple boat owner discount!!!

:laugher: :laugher: :laugher:

John

 

Yep.

 

I did get a FREE coffee mug out of the deal, though.

Hope it is a nice mug :bigsmile:

That price was with me cutting the Starboard and taking it to him. He provided the foam and vinyl.

 

. You might want to consider a pattern that will hold up to that kind of abuse . The horse emblem might look good but how sturdy will the stitch job be with all those intricate curves and turns .

Just be sure they turn down the edges of the emblem, so it's kind of rounded, and not just stiched on there. The edges will stick up otherwise.

 

WOW!! Thanks for all the ideas.

My wood rotted away two years ago so I used PL9000 to glue the foam to the fiberglass and the vinyl to the foam. :shocked:

It started coming apart again so it's definately time to do it right...

Checkmate normally could supply me with a new cover but they are currently in the middle of a "buy out" so they aren't currently taking in any work.

The "pink" color has been discontinued due to blotchy discoloring (which I've noticed on my seats)..
I might be able to come close but pink isn't really my color in the first place. :blush:

I'll let you know what I come up with...


Thanks again :bigsmile:

Here ya go Boatally,
Some people have entirely too much time on there hands in the winter...

 

I don't know how hot blue will get in the sun, I have a black stripe in my pad and it gets toasty! It would be a lot easier to keep clean than white though.

 

Blue with white looks more symetric with the seats.

You're right, it does look better that way but would probably be WAY too hot....


Thanks,



Doug

 

Isn't it better to look good than to feel good? :laugher:

 

I like the white more with the Blue horseeee

Maybe you could add some stripes of blue?

And heck while your at it redo the the chairs too!!

X-may the pink and add black accent...

 

Isn't it better to look good than to feel good? :laugher:

Absolutely!!! It's not about being practical or passenger friendly. It's all about lookin' cool. :winker: Just asked my my better half "Vickie". She loves the new engine hatch on my Dominator. NOT!!!!
