Gaz6002 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Do people flock over the rubber stuff, or remove it first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Do people flock over the rubber stuff, or remove it first? I have had the rubber flocked over and there is no difference in quality, the only problem is if the rubber is coming away from the dash the flock is attached to the rubber. There is flocking and flocking its all in the prep and the glue you use, my guy has flocked his wheels and cam covers its been on there for 10,000 mls and looks as good as new, it is without a doubt my fav finish for panels, great with no reflection now, I notice most of the WRC cars use it.

dude Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I couldnt see that thread here at work. Dude thanks for the pic, how much would it cost to pay someone ? About £2-220 for the dash depending on how taken apart it is, £50-60 for the console, Im picking my door cards up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that Dude. I love a flocked dash. Proper motorsport style and like you say, no annoying reflection. Much better than other dash finishes IMHO.

I am interested but he hasnt got any supra examples to show me Who and where ? i've found a place not far from me that do it and intend to pop down in the near future to check out their quality, im looking into getting the dash pieces that go round the tacho, speedo, stereo and gear shift sections.

Project Blitz Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 i've found a guy local to me, but i need to discuss prices with him & work out whether we can maybe get a group buy he says he's getting some company features this year in some mags so i presume he's pretty good. he is due to send me examples of other cars he's done.

Jason Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm having my dashboard, door cards and a few other bits flocked next month. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. I don't think I'll be disappointed. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I think the flocked dash really cheapens the look of the car. each to their own though and it's good that everyone has different tastes and opinions or we'd all be driving the same car Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO leather looks terrible and you get the reflection off it, alacantara or suede will not look nice for too long, flocking is really a competition thing/look I had it done for a reason, to get rid of the reflection and the feeling that in a fire I would melt to death, also had all the facia panels flocked in grey with black flocked dial surrounds, almost got a spare set of dash panels where we experimented.

Guest blueangel Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 need a place near me to have this done Dude that looks stunnin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Looks very nice indeed dude, will be interested to see the pics of the finished article. It's one of those things where you either do the dash panels only and a few accents around the cabin or you do everything. I think you've taken the right approach.
