Hey folks - I am trying to restore my parchment Sport mat for my 73 Driver. It’ll need a lot of repair, which I plan to use RTV on the underside with tape and vinyl repair compound on the top.
The question is - should I dye it? I sprayed a test area with SEM off-white, and it is tough as nails…color won’t come off with my shoe, scotch brite or paint thinner! Trouble is, it won’t have that spreckled look. If I dye it, it’ll look pretty nice, but won’t look quite right. I feel I don’t have a lot to lose, as ir is pretty much junk otherwise.
Starting to understand why Dennis Carpenter hasn’t put the parchment mat out yet…likely they can’t get the speckled look quite right.
