Following on from my heat seaming thread, I'm trying to find a source for off-the-roll Powder Blue vinyl to re-cover my door cards - it's the same colour as used in Morris 1000s.

I've sent for samples (wrong colour) and contacted a MM specialist whose website states they sell it off the roll - but they don't...

Any ideas where I can buy a few yards of the stuff?

Woolies?

Or get some white vinyl and a vinyl spray made up in the correct colour?

Woolies 'light blue' isn't the right shade Dave. The correct colour is used by a few trimmers but none (so far) sell it off the roll

Martrim may be worth speaking to

mark 1 minis had powder blue interiors as well, the surf blue ones and fiesta yellow ones used that colour for the interior, so a mini specialist might be able to help, generally Newton is mentioned for mk 1s interior.

Thanks for the suggestions - I'll contact Martrim. I had a couple of seats reupholstered by Newton a while back and I think at the time they said they didn't supply vinyl off the roll but I'll try them again.
