Matching Wardrobe.

April 4, 2018

Today it was time to do some work on the amplifier and processor platforms. I ordered some grey mesh fabric material that happened to look almost identical to the seat cloth inserts of my truck, with the plan to cover the platforms with it. I was going to use contact cement but then I saw my staple gun in my toolbox and I decided I could just wrap the platforms upholstery-style to get the same effect:

Sizing up the cloth.
Staple gun, faster than using glue.

After stapling the cloth in place, I trimmed the extra cloth and the first platform was pretty much done.

First one done.
Both platforms done.

After install I noticed that the cloth had the same mesh pattern as the seats, but the grey color was a little darker in shade. This would have bothered me if the platforms were meant to be out i nthe open, but since the platforms will mostly be in shadow underneath the seats anyways I don’t have a problem with it.
