Anyone know if there is a blue flake vinyl fabric that would withstand the weather? I want to redo my rag top in the blue flake.
Thanky

I've seen a couple of threads online that says none of the flake vinyl is UV stable. Inside a vehicle it does ok. If it sees a lot of sun, it goes to crap.

Not an expert, but always ready to guess at an interesting question.
I wonder if the outdoor furniture cushions stay out side all their lives. Also, How long do they last. A convertible top is expected to last years. Outdoor furniture, not so much I'd think.

Not sure what you mean by "Flake" If you mean the heavy Flaked Zodiac vinyls I wouldn't count on them taking the sun to well.
Here is a link to a source that I use.

If this is the type of stuff you mean, my wife can get it, she does upholstery. Picture doesn't show the blue real well, but its a pretty dark blue, almost like a denim color. I've been trying to find something that needs the red cause that stuff is cool as hell.

I always wanted the red in my rod. Maybe someday if I find a set of seats I like.
