But assuming you managed to cover everything and mask up well, could it be done?

Taking the dash out isn't that big a deal, you can't flock it in situ.

when the flock is charged and applied it will stick to the closest surface so you need to constantly move the aplicator around, you simply would'nt be able to reach all the parts that need to be flocked if it was still in the car as well as use the foot switch.

plus you have the issue of applying the glue to start with.

for the amount of time it takes to pop the dash out it's just not worth trying to take a short cut that will end up with the dash looking kack and having to come out anyway.

i doubt you would find anyone that will flock it when it's in, industrial flocking machines not exactly portable.

i got my own dash out today in 20 mins and will take around 30 mins to put my new one in tomorrow, facelift dash has only 6 bolts.
