Where in Victoria area can I get some marine vinyl upholstery. I have some seats and such to redo.

Thanks
 
We buy ours at Fabricland. They have ~12 colors and it fairly often goes on sale at 20-50% off so we keep an eye out for a good sale and buy next years in advance as we redo the seats every year.

Not a huge range of color selections but if they have one that works for you what they have is very heavy duty, good quality material. We have not had a rip yet and we have hundreds of people each year walking all over them, dragging scuba gear, fishing gear etc.
 
I think it is charlie price ,, he is in metchosin,, support the local guys:)
 
Do you guys upholster the seats yourselves. Can you make it look professional or does it look very home made?

You can do a reasonable job yourself, but you need a good staple gun,a box of s.s. staples, and 2 pairs of hands.
With the right fabric one person stretches it across the frame
and the other secures the ends and and staples it.
Make sure you use stainless staples ! i used normal staples
once and within days they rusted leaving nasty rust stains.
 
I found a great selection of vinyal at capital iron on the 4th floor. I have not been there a while, they have quite the marine selection now.
