Green Velour seems to be a popular decorating element around here. When Bro acquired it, my van had green velour seats (went with the teenage sound system and mag wheels). Bro claimed those (and the mag wheels) for his van and ditched the worn out grey plastic.
I'm not sorry about the seats, but did need to pull seats which has been 'exposed to elements' out of donor van only to find that they too had developed a patina of green velour.
Fortunately they were dry even if somewhat enhanced on the outside surfaces.
On Friday I found myself engaged in the use of a hot water power washer and instructed to clean the green velour off a client boat that had been brought in for repairs. "Call it his free bonus" said Bro cheerfully while I paddled about in blasts of reflected hot spray and spat out flying lumps of lichen and moss.
Boat cleaned off, my real task for the day was to blast paint and green velour off the horse box that has languished out the back since SiL retired her riding hack. Bro is on a drive to convert 'stuff' into cash, free up space, and reduce the maintenance workload around this place.
About time, I say, too much stuff round here decorated in green velour.
He has the right idea...and it is hard work getting rid of that velour!
ReplyDeleteScrapyards often good seat replacements. Are there any near you?
ReplyDeleteThere is indeed a scrapyard near us Dave - called Roscoes - and we are on good terms with them. This place was in danger of becoming a scrapyard but Bro is on a drive to sell stuff.
Delete'Green velour' sounds quite attractive, but not good attached to hard surfaces.

ReplyDeleteThat velour stuff is a bit like velcro, don't you find? No sooner get rid of one bit and seems to have stuck in another bit... But I know your determination. My money's on you! YAM xx
Bro is a lucky man that you are staying with him! you can come here, and we have no green valour but lots of DIRT that needs attention and some landscaping.. Maybe you should pay RENT instead of
