I would like to learn about repairing uphostery

I have searched online but there are so many choices and different information that it is hard to figure out how to go about learning to repair different materials, like ripped leather or burned door panels . Can some suggest a good place to get started or training in the Cleveland area or close by? Hey Shady, after the shoulder gets fixed we'll come down there

Kewl, I'll be ready...

I have a few videos that teach some of those types of repairs, I bought a kit a few years ago for like 1400bux...
We replace covers or sew in new panels, I don't do the touch up stuff much...

They're VHS tapes, but if you guys want to take a look at them, you're welcome to.
Marco has my number...
Holla!!!

I'm not a huge fan of the goop repairs, but they do have a place in the market. I'm like Shady, replace panels or do new covers rather than spotting in with the fillers. My personal opinion is that on a seat it's going to crack from stress and be back in bad shape much faster than a new panel sewn in will deteriorate.

But, for some good information, visit www.atrn.com. That's the website for Auto Trim and Restyling News. You can e-mail Greg Basich, the editor, or others on the staff and ask about systems and training. Several of the companies offer multi-day training courses for using their product. If you're going to dive into it maybe going mobile or focusing on the repairs, you'll want to be trained in the system you're buying to make sure you're getting the most out of your investment.

That would be great, thank you. I'll have him call you today

I would like to learn the panel repairs for personal use. Three cars this year had the door panels damaged from removing the tape. One was a 96 Porsche Turbo that was going to a car show in a few days, luckily they got it fixed in time. We had an Infinity with previous repairs to it's top door panel that came off with the tape (got rid of that tape), we got ripped for $250 because we had to have it done in an hour, christmas present for the guys wife and he is a freind of ours we had to fix it quick no matter the cost. Then the all mighty screw up was years ago when Marco uh hmmm, burned a panel on an R32 that cost us $700 to replace and it was the only one in the country. I would rather replace too but as you see it would come in handy not as a add on but a way to save our butts if we need to Thanks for the link

Look into Fitzgerald, that's where I buy my interior dye from, when I use it, which isn't often....
I'm with sewing guy, I prefer not to goop things up unless absolutely necessary.
