Does anyone know where to get new arm rests? I just had my car fixed from hail damage and repainted plus new interior door panels - now the arm rests don't look that good compared to the door panels; it never ends
I'm specifically looking for the tan color and have seen the chrome strips and caps for sale but can't find the arm rests themselves. Any help is much appreciated.

Re: Arm Rests
If the arm rests themselves are in good shape, consider using vinyl paint to freshen them up. You can have SEM vinyl paint custom mixed to match your new door panels. Last time I bought it, it was about $12 per can. One can would be more than enough for your needs. Check with your local auto paint supply store or a local upholstery shop for a source.

Re: Arm Rests
Take them to an upholstery shop and have them recovered. I had mine done in leather to match my reupholstered seats and headrests. It should be pretty cheap to do just the armrests.

Thanks - mine are good in shape just not perfect. If I can't dig up a pair of new ones; I'll try this out.spidernut wrote:If the arm rests themselves are in good shape, consider using vinyl paint to freshen them up.
