Just gauging interest in this,as Im not a member at the moment,so NOT offering.

Would any of you guys be interested in having this done to your parts..pics below of the finish,Ive been flocking parts for afew year now.Posted parts/courior collected and returned coated to you.The prices would very,very reasonable to members.

Flock is nylon fibres (velvet to touch/suede-ish look)electrostatically charged to 50,000 volts(on my machine) and can be applied to plastic,metal,wood,fabric etc.If you've seen incar footage of rallycars in recent years,you'll have seen dashboards coated in black flock,to prevent dash glare on the windscreen on bright days,but any colour from reds,blues,yellows,greys,purples etc,throught to neon pink,dayglow orange down to pastel brown or powder blues are available,it is aslo great for hiding repairs done to cracked/modified trim.This is a really smart coating for dashboards,consoles,door trims,bass boxes,parcel shelves etc etc.

I (when i get around to finishing my zed!) will be doing the door trim/lower dash/console instead of the horrible grey tweed thats on it now,I know many of you get leather/vinyl trim kits for this,so flocking is another option,its very durable and hard wearing and looks fantastic.Again,Im not offering this,Im just gauging interest,if there is,Ill sign up for making things official.

P.S,very hard to photograph as the flash reflects off the fibres lol,but the parts are actually in deep black(semi-shine) flock,not purple as they look in the pics:thumbup1:

Got to you in good time then bud! Good stuff.

 

I can't imagine anyone who sees this sample will not want to get a lot of parts flocked!!

Thanks for that, tbh if i'd seen this before I did the tweed trim bits, I wouldnt have bothered.

Glad you liked it lads :)

Thats great, I have all the boot panels out and will box them up, just let me know when you are ready for them, in black for those.
