it only takes some thinners, scotch cloth and a bit of time mate,

 

I'd be careful with thinners melting the plastic. I've de-ruberised a loads of dash sets and found the best thing to use was meths or white spirit and a plastic scraper, comes of easily, but take a fair amount of time to do all the panels.

 

An alternative to flocking is getting the panels water transfer printed, there are all sorts of different effects you can have, these are some carbon fibre effect ones. Very hard wearing too.

I was thinking of having that done but in one solid colour like Gunmetal Gray.

My mate runs a company specialising in flocking, http://www.autoflock.co.uk/

 

He did all the dash panels, inner door handles and window switches for £80 i think it was. Really good job and looks superb.

Flocked dash pics never do the actual finish justice but its a far better look then anything else i've come across.

 

Pics???

 

I'm thinking of getting my entire dash done as i've got it out the car and get ann the panels/door cards done as well...

 

Would your mate be interested in a group buy offer?

If I can get a complete set of panels then i'm in. Will this include the option to choose different colours? Plus i'd like to do my entire dash while I have it out, so maybe a group buy on different parts, i.e, Complete dash and panels/door switches and then just dash panels etc?

Im just waiting on permission from the mods at the minute but hopefully this will go ahead for you guys he's only just set up in buisiness and with the current economy this would be a great help to him aswell.

As for quality of the work he is talented and im well happy with mine so far and im actually having more done contemplating the roofliner at the minute lol

HAHA, I was thinking roof lining too! complete dash and door cards! I think the roof in a different colour would look quite good!
