Prestige Auto Upholstery was the choice for new interior
and they did not disappoint.
The beach van has been at Prestige Auto Upholstery in North Hollywood for the past two months. First, the goal was to keep all the original wood and stained glass walls. Yes, that was the original stained glass on the panels. Next, the quilted ceiling and side panels had to go. The seats were in the worst shape, but the back sofa cushions may have been worse. The linoleum floor was a must-go, so everything ended up gutted. Once the wall was there seemed no need to put them back, leaving a beautiful open space. We went with distressed faux leather for seats and cushions, and Prestige suggested replacing the quilting with the leather, which at first seemed odd, but now it is perfect for the changes we want for the beach van. We went with a lighter color for the suede ceiling, and the choice of Hawaiian prints for curtains will provide the beach van feel we are looking to achieve. Next, Prestige created a new outside awning; the original inside wood cabinets received a new stain- the next step is paint. Thanks to the team at Prestige Auto for all the work and their reliability; this was a wonderful experience.
Once the Van Tiki was home-Prestige created three inside leather seating for the middle section that forms seating and bed space, they also came up with a great idea for hiding the camp toilet with a leather-covered box.
