Anyone know where i can get some RED alcantera???

I'm presuming its a cloth, but i got told the WRC boys spray glue on, then spray the alcantera finish on top of that!

Cheers

We bought some from our local upholstery supplier. Had to wait a day or two, but they came through with a big book of various colour swatches and it was delivered next day.

I have also heard it called Macrosuede so you might get a better search engine result using that instead.

Used as seat covering it comes in a roll of cloth. The stuff they use on the dash is more like a spray on suede, I think. I'm sure you can use the cloth type for most purposes though.

The WRC dashes are "flocked". The material is electrostaticly applied to them.

I think Alcantara is technically synthetic suede, but you might also find it called nubuck or kidskin.
