I am trying to find some carpet for my interior to cover the walls. I found that Lowe's and Home Depot have an indoor outdoor carpet that looks like automotive carpet, but they only carry black and grey. I need tan. Has anyone seen tan anywhere? Tell me where please.
What type did you use? Maybe I can find tan in that.

I didn't do my tear, but I got some boat carpet from Cabela's. I believe they had tan. Plus it's designed to be glued into boats, so it should hold up well inside a trailer.

If I ever get that far, I was looking at Hull Liner for the ceiling.
Hull Liner. I don't know if this vender is any good or not.

Thanks everyone,
I didn't think about marine carpet. I will be making a trip to the local marine dealer.
That hull liner looks good. Just need to make sure that it isn't too rough.
Caseydog-Yeah baby, yeah!

You should
PM Gaston to find out what he used on the PT Snuiser.
It appears to be a lighter weight carpet...
...and sure looks good in his application.
That TT is one sweet peice of work.

we used carpet on the ceiling and bought it at Lowes. They had about 15 different colors, thicknesses and styles in stock at the store here in amarillo.

Mike and Brenda,
Did you glue the carpet to plywood, or just to the spars?
I know, I am reaching.

Dooner, go visit your local auto upholstery shop. He should have a bunch of swatches to look at. I used some tan stuff that's made for door panels because it doesn't have a backing on it. I think I used contact cement to stick it on the walls and it's been on there for about a year and a half with no problems at all.
