"Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Here are a couple of pics of my new "Mach1" embroidered headrests. There was a guy on here a while back that did this but he disappeared. I found this person,"Grant" <pontiacfirehawk2002131@yahoo.com>, on another site and he was able to do them for me. I love them and he did a great job! If you are interested contact him for pricing. I just love the look!

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Looks great.
Can you post the contact information?

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests

Had mine done over a year ago and still look great. Add's a nice subtle touch to our interior.

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Sorry I thought i included his email. Here it is: pontiacfirehawk2002131@yahoo.com

His name is Grant

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

I saw a Mach at a car show last summer that had that done. Probably by the same guy that went out of business. They looked excellent. If I remember right, you send him the headrest leather only, and NOT the whole upper headrest. They stitch it and send it back to you.

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Yup, that's how it worked. That guy "G" at HRE was a cool guy and did awesome work and I was sad to hear he wasn't in business anymore. I even had him stitch "F150" into my truck's headrests and they were even better than the Mach's. But I am glad to know there is someone else out there doing this work.

CME, for the benefit of others, what did he charge?

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

I had mine done a couple years back and still look great. Well worth the money.

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

My grandma can do these hehe, she has some automatic embroidery system where you upload a picture, put the thread in and press STITCH!


Have any good outside pics of your louvers? Ive wanted some, but am afraid of the quality.

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

The head rests look great. I had mine done early last year by the guy that was here. I love how they look.

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Email me if you are questions on the Mach1 embroidery.

Thanks,
Grant

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Nice work. That looks great.

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Looks very nice! I am slowly adding a few accents to my interior to give it some Mach 1 identity. Papa Ford was cutting corners and saving cash when it came time to our interiors. I added 69 Mach 1 running horse emblems in the door panels, reflectors in the lower corner of the door panels so the open door doesn't get sawed off when opened, a few bright pieces on the console, and IUP silver paint on the door pull inserts to break-up the monotone door. What ticks me off is the lack of illuminated switches for night driving. No passenger can find any switch or handle in that dark interior.

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

I got my headrests back from Grant and I love them! The "Mach 1" looks great on the headrests. I took my Mach in to the Ford dealer on Saturday for an oil change the all the guys were looking at them and commented how good that looked.

Thanks Grant, I couldn't be happier with them! :machgod:

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Hello Grant. The look is great. What is the cost for the silver thread treatment? How long does the operation take? Thanks!

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

whered you get the paint to match for the door inserts ive wanted to do those for a while just didnt want mismatched paint

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

I'm interested in the headrest lettering too. What is the turnaround time and where are you located?

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Hi, the Dupli-Color paint code match for the Mach 1 interior silver is: DSFM225 Medium Charcoal Metallic (UPC 26916 12225). I found paint at Auto Zone, but have since seen it at Wal-Mart for only a buck and change. One small can is more than enough to do the two. CLEAN and GREY PRIMER everything first, the plastic parts WILL NOT accept paint smoothly without it. Apply 3 uniform coats of color, followed up with a clear coat to protect the paint, because this gets handling wear. So, you need to buy Primer, Paint, and Clear Coat to do this right. Enjoy the new look.

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

very cool man thanks i live right near a walmart im gonna go today. oh another question just one coat of primer and 1 coat of clear or 3 as well? and do you sand them down or clea them with say alcohol?

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

Colors are up to you. If you want pricing, pm me or email me at pontiacfirehawk2002131@yahoo.com.

Re: "Mach1" Embroidery on Headrests
 

To clean, I used paint prep (enamel reducer), but honestly you could use grease cutting dish detergent and water. The importand thing is DO NOT handle any surface you intend to paint once you clean it off. Fingers leave oil residue. Use 3 coats of primer and wet sand with wet/dry 600 grit paper to smooth. I used 2 or 3 coats of clear to finish-off. The important thing with painting all of the coats is give them time to dry, and NEVER rush a paint job. Prime it all one day, sand and clean later in the day. Paint it and clear it the next day. One hint, ALWAYS paint the tougher surfaces FIRST. Spray all around the rolling edges, next into the deep hand cut indent pocket, then do the flatter, more visible areas last, using long sweeping overlapping strokes. Start each paint run OFF the part and come across to prevent spit-off paint blobs. I used to paint cars and experience dictates that you do the tough, out-of-the-way areas first, and then spray the easy, more visible surfaces last, to eliminate runs and heavy spots. Good luck.
