hi anyone know the number of the company who treat the dash with chemicals, to get the same affect that is on the rally car dash. Its a suede type look seen the company in banzi about a year ago

 

Its called flocking

I want mine doing too, to keep that sun glare down

You will need to have your dashboard out of the car tho, I have a spare one already out ready

Its called 'flocking' but you need to get the dash out first and send it away. It works by putting a charge through the dash and then spraying powder into the air which sticks to the plastic.

I have used a company called Central Blast Cleaning on 01295 278233 to do a couple of dashes in our rally cars and they come out very well. They adverstise in Motorsport news but I expect there are others about who do the same thing.

You can also get it done in different colours if you fancy a change.

Good luck

Nick

p.s. I have no relationship or alliance with this company - just thought it would help

 

Thanks have you any idea how much it costs

Sorry to drag up a REALLY old post, but does anyone have any photos of this?

 

sorry, me too! but could anyone tell me wether the picture attatched is this 'flocking', or has it been fabricated with suede? (which I originally thought until I came accross this post). thanx!
EDIT: just realised you cant post attatchments. Here is a link to the picture http://www.tuning24.pl/galeria/188.jpg (interior of the micra R).

 

These guys quoted me £50 to have my MY00 3 gauge centre pod flocking.

Think the whole dash would be quite expensive. If your after MY00 style dash surrounds theres a couple on fleebay right now.

 

Think we got our rally car done for £150 (pound notes tho)....by a guy who builds replica ferraris etc in staplehurst in kent...cant remember the company name at the mo...


but here are some piccies anyway..

 

I've contacted Electroflock and although the guy responsible for the flocking was not in I spoke to another guy and got the impression that they do not provide a service to remove the dashboard from the car. I'll call and verify that on Monday.

My question guys is: How difficult is it to remove the dashboard in a '95 sti import.I am seriously considering getting the dashboard flocked next month and it would be nice to know. Can anybody provide some short of guidance to do that.

I have already paid £100 to get the dashboard resprayed by LittleKnocks and only 3 months down the line it started going white again. The only solution seems to be the flocking.

Thank you.
