Looks great, as far as the vinyl spray goes, did u have problems with the light console area? I reckon it looks a little tricky. Great idea to take all those pics too..thanks!

yes i did. not in terms of painting, i just took the piece out and covered the clear parts up with tape. i'll take closer pics but the part where it went wrong was that I didn't clean the plastic before spraying it and the paint cracked when it dried. annoying - i might consider sanding it and redoing it.

HAHAHA.

As for the fabric question, there are quite a lot in Spotlight but the best patterns they have are the pintripes only. However they do come in black/navy/burgundy with white stripes. I've seen the plaid/tartan patterns in fabric shops in more "ethnic" suburbs like Cabramatta. I'll be having a check through them when I'm ready to do mine!
