FOSTA Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting my main dash plastics flocked. Has anybody done this before, any pictures? What's your thoughts? Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I thought your car was on ebay? Could be thinking of someone else.... My old Aerotop had it done... I will find the thread with the pics from the previous owner. Looked great and it was a do it yourself kit as well. Brb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Ive just bought some flocked door cards and dash and I just say it's a big improvement and looks so much more up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parry_10 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Otherway around for me, fully flocked interior then dash plastics in satin black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Otherway around for me, fully flocked interior then dash plastics in satin black The small problem I have parry is I've painted mine a few times now but every summer when the sun heats up my dash it slightly blisters the paint! I've sanded it back to the plastic everything but it keeps happening! I could get another set of plastics but then I need to modify them to fit my gauges. I've thought about wrapping them but when the sun/heat hits them it starts to lift in deep recess places like around the auto stick ands key hole. So I'm now thinking flocking! If I go through with it I'm tempted to go black or purple (to match my rear cage)? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now wrapped the largest dash panel and its ok, but not 100% around the heater controls tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange isn't it! :/ I've never had this problem with anything else, It just seems to be this dash. - - - Updated - - - What color flocking should I go for guys, purple to match big brakes and roll cage or just black?

I don't want to flock mine as the whole interior is flocked so wanted to break it up abit. I would flock them black then not purple, purple would be too much in your face.

Yeah I thought it could look abit tacky like! I've seen a few pictures of it done black and to be honest I'm on the fence at the moment. I'm going to do it black regardless as I think its one of them things where the pictures don't do it justice so I can imagen it looking better in the flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
