    Dashboard renewal, who has here tried flocking?

    I'm warming up to the idea, I hate reflective/glossy dashboards. Fix a few cracks, paint on the glue and puff on the fiber for a new looking non-reflective surface? Anyone here taken the plunge?

    That looks flocking cool! Maybe not the whole flocking dash. Maybe just the flocking dash pad.

    I saw it done on TV on a Pacer interior. Pretty funky fresh.

    That used to be called "mouse fur" on Italian cars, at least that's what it looks like !!

    Thanks

    There is no logical reason to call an Engine a motor.

    Im gonna try the flocking dash pad first, maybe the flocking glove box door. If it works I'll do the whole flocking interior. Don't want it to look out of flocking place.

    Never did like the maroon interior...

    I have looked into this as well. From what I've read, if/when you go to do this...build a little "clean room" to do it in as the flocking goes EVERYWHERE! There's also different methods of applying it.

    Yessir. I think Wheeler Dealers is one of the best car shows around. They really get into the nuts and bolts aspect and Edd is a helluva good wrench. Plus I like all the British slang.

    real problem I find is the dashboards are shrinking.
