I didnt keep the car for more than 6 months after I did it but it held up fine for then. It kinda feels like suede so yea it feels fine on your elbows |

Yeahh I'm pretty sure they do they make all diffrent colors just make sure to get the blue adhesive too. I used body filler because it's readily available and because it's pretty much fiberglass.

I would love to hear a good testament to its durability. The dash looks great in the picture so you definitely get props for that. Can you comment on cleaning? Dirt attraction? Any concerns that the finish will be damaged during install/removal? I've never even heard of this stuff.
Good info

Example: Blue adhesive, Black Flock Wonder if anyone has tried it yet. |

This should be the new process for saving dashes! Someone is going to start snapping all of them up and start selling flocked dashes.

I've been preaching about flock for years, cheap and works great. People have been flocking dashes in race cars for god knows how long, it gets rid of the glare you can get from sun light hitting a factory vinyl dash.
good write up! -Marc |

sorry to bring this back up but im really interested and im trying to figure everything out before I buy everything. I know you used the mini flocker from your post and I get how that works, but how did you do the adhesive? it says not to do it in sections so did you spread glue over the entire dash and then blow the fibers on as fast as you could? or did you have success doing like a square foot at a time? if you could get back to me id appreciate it. thanks!

First off i have never done this process but i do know that op should have not used bondo since it doesnt flex at all which will cause cracks in the future.
I would recommend the same thing i use to repair a plastic bumper which is lord fusor 602 or even 3m panel bond which works great for a variety of repairs. He also mentioned he used a paint roller to apply glue before doing the flocking. As far as sanding goes i think i will stop at 220 grit just so the glue can grab onto the dash well but like i said i never done this but i have done many other similar things. |

Same here. Everytime i have heard about this flocking method or seen a dash flocked, it turned out to last from 1 to 12 months. Then it falls appart. Not all at the same time of course, but you get holes.

TBH i would have already gone the cheap way with my S13 if it really was a matter of 10mins to remove the dash and put it back. Even if it was a 1hour matter. I dont care if i have to redo it every 6 months, or if it starts to fall appart, as long as there is no glare. Problem is, it is not at all. Maybe on an already stripped out car... |
