The problem of damage to the car interior is quite common. Scratched, cut and burned upholstery or seat upholstery spoils the overall appearance of the interior. You can fix it with the help of special compounds.
It is necessary
- - kit for repairing the interior of a car salon;
- - thin cloth;
- - scalpel.
Instructions
Step 1
To restore the seat, you will need a special car interior repair kit. Select the correct kit depending on the type of material covering the seat. This can be a repair kit for a leather, velor or fabric seat.
Step 2
If the damage is caused by burn-through, pulling the material around the hole, gently smooth out or cut off the shrunken areas with a scalpel. Despite the fact that the hole will become larger in size, in this condition it is better amenable to repair.
Step 3
On the inside of the hole, glue the special reinforced mesh included in the restoration kit. Once attached, iron it with a Teflon iron at a temperature not exceeding 125 degrees, otherwise the mesh may melt. Be sure to place a piece of thin fabric between it and the iron. For reliable adhesion of the mesh, you need to iron it for 10 - 15 minutes.
Step 4
After installing the reinforced mesh gasket, apply the repair compound from the kit to the area inside the hole. As a rule, it is a powder that melts during heat treatment and fills the hole.
Step 5
After sprinkling a layer of powder on the damaged area, cover it with a special Teflon coating and iron it with an iron for 10 to 50 seconds. Let the melted mixture cool. Attach a cooling bag to speed up this process.
Step 6
While the composition is cooling, prepare a mixture that allows you to recreate a texture that matches the color of the damaged area. Take a special two-component compound from the repair kit, and squeeze in equal amounts onto a spatula. Mix and apply to the nearby seat surface. In five minutes, this coating will harden, and the smallest drawing will remain on its reverse side - an impression.
Step 7
"Print" the finished copy of the texture on the treated area. To do this, apply a second layer of powder to the damaged area, on top of it - an impression and iron it all with an iron, putting a Teflon pad.
Step 8
Use the color fan to select the color that best matches the surface to be repaired. There is a special code opposite the color, which must be found in the catalog with an exact description of the shade preparation method.
Step 9
Prepare the paint according to the instructions, taking the necessary components from the kit. Apply paint to the repaired area with a special gun and let dry for 10 - 15 minutes. If the surface of the seat is fleecy, it will need to match the fibers contained in the set in jars to match.
