This is flocked dash, maybe its the picture, but it reminds me heavily of tarmac





Im pushing for alcantra lol.



This one don't look too bad though

Best advice I could give is try it on a small piece of scrap see how it looks,

Hey, I wil lget some pics of flocked interior up asap.
As far as price goes, for the following:

dashboard
door cards
centre console
door sills
windscreen surround

total of £250 inc vat

then a further £350 for:

glovebox
sun visors
arm rests
handle to close the doors
nav pod

to be done in silver/grey leather to match my cobra seats

mine is jet black flock which looks really good, and you can barely see the dimples in the dashboard anymore, it apparently does not fade, and is really really hard wearing. simply use the brush attatchement of your hoover to clean it and its even water proof to a certain extent so warm soapy water wont hurt either.

anyways, hope this helps guys  s:) :) s:)

yes its far far far cheaper than something like a full leather re-trim which runs in the thousands rather than hundereds usually. and it really does transform the interior, as daft as it sounds aswell, my steroe seems to sound better, the car feels warmer inside, and also not as much vibration and road noise, think it does contain insulation and sound deadening properties though. my only advise really would be to choose carefully which bits you want doing. and adding leather touches here and there breaks it up nicely, because it is very very black indeed. in direct sunlight, because of the way its laid on the dashborard it kinda from a distance as a carbon fiber look to it  s:) :) s:)  but the good think about flock over leather is, it will always be a perfect match, so if you get 1 bit done and decide to get more done it will look identical where as leather have batch numbers on, and you never really get 100% perfect match with different batch numbers.

any questions feel free to ask  s:) :) s:)

Forgive me for my post, I am the owner of RKDE-Designs Ltd, who did the flocked part for Roger...

I have quite a few photos of flocked parts on my gallery,  m http://www.rkde-designs.co.uk/gallery.htm m  
My view is flock tbh, I see Alcantara all the time and I do not think it is that exciting especially at over £100 per meter!

If you have any questions and I can help please let me know, Also I understand if my link needs to be removed due to not being a sponsor of this site "currently"

As said in an above post, be careful how much you have done, once its on - it on, the only way off is a belt sander! I am happy to give any advice you may need. Also its worth questioning what machines are used to flock, some small companies use a brush and a roller which tbh never gives and excellent finish, while I am a small company I use a compressor and spray adhesive which gives a more even finish, no to mention the flock applicator needs to be a 60,000KV for a good overall finish.

There are pictures up on here somewhere of my flocked dash. It is just the horrible dimples that were flocked in black. Looks good, much better than the dimples in my opinion.

Blame the lighting - perhaps a competant photoshopper could make it the colour it should be.   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

I quite like that Roger, but i've always been concerned how flocking wears, you'll have to keep us updated with its life

Like this?



On a serious note Roger, what is the texture of the flocking?  Does it feel suede-like?

Oh go on, do me a black one as well. Pleeeese.   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

As to texture, the way the flocking is done is that all the bits stand on end (due to the electric charge), so really it is rougher than suede, more like very closely woven carpet

Cheers Roger, looks good except your camera is the same as mine   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  every time I photo black it comes out that colour I found that all lumix camera lenses do that!

If any wants any other colours that can be done too.

By the by if you do phone and I don't answer leave a message  s:) :) s:)  far too many missed calls when I am flocking!
