I work for a tier 1 interior supplier and I personally bought a roll of Ebony (black) Beneke PUR Leatherette. The roll is 60" wide I believe and I have quite a bit. This is exactly the same leatherette my company uses on the Cadillac SRX and CTS, Mercedes. E class, BMW X5 parts, and even more IP dash top pads, door panels, and seats. It passes all automotive spec and most importantly the UV Rays spec.

Anyways if anyone is interested in some I can provide more info. I'd be looking to get $30/ linear yard. This material can not be pubically bought and our price is $27.50/ yard so I'm not looking to make money. Just thought it would be a nice addition to peoples dash and other areas. This is as high of quality as it gets.

I know this is a For Sale add but I thought it was appropriate here also as its not the typical thing to sell.

Companies Website... worth a look at the "showroom" tab
http://www.benecke-kaliko.de/

Here is a great article i found on it for reference:

Man, I wish I had use for that. I don't have any projects that I could use it for, so I'll need to pass up this deal...


Thanks for the offer!

Are you able to ship to Canada? How long is this offer? I'd love to recover my seats in my DD, as well as grab some for the Locost dash + misc.

Well I have a good size roll so I plan to take what I need and sell the rest, so until that is gone...

I put an add up in the for sale section with a really good link to the company website.

If anyone wants ill send out a small 1"x2" sample if your serious about buying some. This way you can see what you will be getting.

Refer to the above... But ill ship it to anywhere you guys need. If its within reason ill cover the cost, but if its more just add a bit more to the cost. I guarantee the quality of the stuff. I can't wait to do my interior with it. Truely premium material.

ive only posted it here so far as i would like to see it go to good use on homebuilt cars rather then other stuff. Ill hang on to it for a few more months before it hits other forums, ebay, and craigslist. I gotta sell it eventually to recoup the money i spent on it.

Heck, it's cheaper than most flooring options!

So how much of this stuff do you think it would take to do a dash, and a few interior bits? 2-3 yards maybe?
