Replacing carpet cover on cabs with whatever the black shiny stuff's called?

[Beedster]

I've recently acquired a couple of Bag End 15s which I love. However, they're finished in a kinda dark red carpeting, which is about as rock 'n' roll as New Kids on the Block. Is it going to be a nightmare to get that off and cover the cabs in the black stuff that proper cabs are covered in? If so, is there anyone out there willing to do it for me for a decent fee?

Cheers

Can you not use a good hair dryer or heat gun to melt the glue and use spirit to remove the glue? They will be good ply cabs so will take a bit of brute.
That way, you can have some good looking cabs and the satisfaction of doing it your self?

Then paint them with duratex or something, which is probably much easier than tolexing, and all round better.

I think you are looking for Tolex to replace it.

I can send you a link for a good place to buy the Tolex and the adhesive. You might also want to get some corner protectors to save you newly covered box.
