danthevan Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi guys, what would you recommend to recover a 4x10 with? Dunno what make it is, but it's damn big and heavy, covered in a horrible dark green plastic. Always used to get called the Aligator, but dunno if thats the make or what?

barkin Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Me, I''d strip the old stuff off and paint it with something like the Tuff Cab paint that Bluearan sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthevan Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Wow! That looks perfect! Didn't fancy trying to glue vinyl over it......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 +1 for the Tuff Cab. Get a stipple roller as well and you're set to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: just found a pic of one of their combo's on here, porting and grilles are identical so think you're right! Cheers for the info!

lurksalot Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Daft as it sounds I have used cab carpet which is pre glued like sticky back plastic , it gives a great finish and as long as you have corner protection will stay in pretty good nick . I can't remember where I got it from ATM , it is a far cry from the old Thixafix glueing method , though it was always an added bonus that with the fabric glues you could always view your finished work from the same altitude as the kite you where as high as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
