Upholstry Referbish

Use abs plastic cement to reinforce the plastic trim or make trim areas that has gone missing. I use the aluminum furnace tape to back the area needing replaced. SEM plastic paint is great for color matching. Hope this helps, Joe

Thanks everyone for the input. I was thinking of customizing the interior, but nothing too crazy. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't like installing a new engine component with lots of paperwork along with it. I will also have to determine if any changes (like lights, air vents, and storage would affect they interior, I would have to take that into account. Not update after the install.

I was looking at Centennial Aircraft Interior in Denver also. That was one of my first choices.

Thanks,

Karl

My interior was done by the crew who do Air Force One, next door, at Andrews AFB.

First I bought new plastic bits, which are thicker than the original.
They mostly fit, but a heat gun got them spot on.

Then the AF-1 crew overlaid plastic with synthetic leather from douglas aircraft interior,

I used douglas again to supply local auto interior shop with materials.

Just got my aircraft back from a set of upgrades and now its time to start considering upholstery. I'm going to call around this week. I've been thinking about any work that might precede the interior and i am concentrating on two issues. The location of the light and vents. I have 6 vents that are located on the outer edge of the cabin, but I have cabin lights for everyone controlled by a single switch (also controls my outside light). I've noticed some people when they showed pictures of their upholstery have a spin that goes down the middle containing all their vents and single lights for each station. I don't know if that was the way their aircraft was setup, or did they move surrounding lights and vents to a central location.

If someone did move those around, was that something you prepared ahead of time or was it all done during upholstery.
