I am working at restoring the trunk of my coupe. I bought some elephant skin which has a sort of foam backing to it. The skin I removed from the two pieces on either side of the tool kit is very thin with no foam backing.

Does the thinner stuff still exist? If so where.

Also, the skin was stapled to the hardboard using what appear to be 1/8" or smaller staples. Has anyone seen these?

Since it was the board that was bad and not the e-skin, I am thinking of re-using the old skin and painting with SEM Warm Grey.
