Question for those that do upholstery

[beastie_3]

Are those seams sewn? Maybe remove a little of the foam from the backside so the seams sit flush. Why didnt you have each seam head straight to the speaker?

Nothing is sewn. When I began covering it, I didn't realize it was going to create the crooked looking thing that you see at the bottom edge. Also, after having cut one or two realized I was doing it wrong and I was at a point where I couldn't fix those, and thats when the remaining cuts started getting done the way they were intended to. But even though it was performed the way I meant, it didn't turn out like I envisioned it.

Cutting out some of the foam might help since it wouldn't be poking out the way it is in a couple places but I'd also like to have something either in or over them. The only term I know to compare what I'm looking for to is a transition strip that you find in a floor between say hardwood and tile. But even that isn't going to really totally fix everything. Having so many sides really made it difficult for me, especially since I haven't ever tried anything like this.

But I know that something great will come of it, just gotta figure out what that's gonna be.

if you want to paint it you could use drywall mud instead of body filler, it adhears to wood and sands smooth much faster, then primer it and paint away.  If its good enough for the walls in a house why not a center console?
