Dash Flocking

[MK1_Oz]

Want to flock my fibreglass twin cowl dash. Anybody know how much this costs? Any of the Adelaide boys know where in Adelaide is good??

(Got a rough price from Grant Austin Packaging of over $400!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

DIY about $40 and easy to do as well you can buy the flocking power and glue from here:-

all you do i paint the glue on the using a metel sieve you shake the fibers over the dash leave for 24 hours then dust the fibers off! i did it on a drop sheet and re-used the fibers i also did 2 coats as i was not happy with my first coat

here is my dash

so were you happy with it? $40 sounds like a better price than $400!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've done a few dashes with speaker box carpet with pretty good success. Just another option if you're interested.

looks a good job mate.

i am after the rally look seeing as its a rally car

Same method as I used in my rally car, just slightly different material.

Yep, apply contact adhesive to the dash and the material then stretch/stick away. It was quite a few years ago I did the Escort, but I think the material is similar, if not the same as the stuff I used in the F100. Very Very flexible/stretchable.

I get all my interior trim bits from Daley's . Take a trip there and see what you think might be suitable. If it's anything like the Brisbane store, take cash.

I am happy with how mine turned out its just to easy to do i also did the plastic around the instrument cluster to match it into the dash
