I think it looks pretty good. My armrest is the last thing in my car I've got left to do, and I'm still trying to make up my mind what to do.

Is that wrapped in vinyl? And what did you use for the flame pattern? And what process did you use to do that and acheive that result? We need details.

Rick.

The flames look pretty lame, but the craftsmanship looks good.

thanks, its not in vinyl its in cloth that similer to like a tshirt meterial,and its darker then it looks.....i used some carbored and free handed the flames,sanded the armrest down a bit to help it stick, spray glued it on, then spray glued the whole thing and pulled the meterial tightly over it and smoothed it all out
