so, im wondering if anyone has retrimmed their door trims in leather and how hard it would be too do?
im think just a single colour. i have only a little experience with leather when i did a bike seat a few months back, but generally good with my hands. ive been told door trims are easy but was wondering if leather is the same.

Something to think about when you do it, do you want it to have a tiny bit of squish in it? I would so I would glue a thin layer of squishy foam to the door card

Nah I'm not a fan of paying people to do certain things, plus it's fun trying stuff out. Watched my friends and upholsterers make trims so it gave me some good starting points.
