Glenn, I did my plane with2mm foam in the front half, covered with
Alcantara - all attached with spray on rubber glue. The panel and the
rear half (seat back backwards) were spray painted with durable matt
paint in matching colour. The foam was aimed at a bit of noise reduction
and thermal insulation. It has all worked well and worn very well.
Alcantara is a sort of synthetic, washable suede, which the guy who sold
it to me informed me was fitted to Maserati dashboards! I avoided heavy
upholstery and went for removable (hence adjustable) cushions, which
were somewhat modified matching coloured cushions from an old Citroen
car found in a scrapyard. The same car provided the carpets, which I had
nicely edged by an upholsterer. Picture attached.

etc, but realize that takes up space and adds weight. So what would you
recommend
as a good compromise? I would also love to see some pictures to see what
is possible?
