  • Learn how to flock your dash to replicate the true Rally car look. You will need some basic materials (found below) and maybe a good friend to help you apply the product faster...and before you know it, your old, cracked and ugly dash could look and function like a true Rally Car Dashboard.
    Good Luck on your projects and happy wrenching!

    I've been wondering (for a long time now) how your flocked dash is holding up. There are lots of videos now about how to repair and flock a dash, but very few do a long-term follow up. I know you did the repair and flock a long time ago, so would really like your input. Thanks.

      I flocked the center console of my 1998 Alfa Romeo GTV. The center console on there cars was notoriously garbage and would crack or disintegrate regularly.
      I custom molded a piece to fit and flocked it. It was great over the last 4 years (sold the car this summer), only issue was a coffee stain I got on it, which was very tedious to clean up because of the material.

    I have used this in some small woodworking projects like lining the drawer in a small jewelry box. The method I used to glue down the flocking is paint that is very close to the color of the flocking. This allows the paint to hide any spots you may have missed with the flocking. Nice job!!!!

    I flocked all of the interior metal panels in the back of my VW T4 camper. Given that it was such an extensive area to cover I didn’t bother using the glue supplied with the kit. Instead I used a brand of metal paint who’s name I shouldn’t advertise but I know that you know it’s Hammerite. I applied it with an imperialist 2” brush. Because the consistency of the paint is a bit thicker than the glue it laid down nice and flat without noticeable brush strokes. This gave me a working window of around 3 hours to apply the flock. As the paint dried it locked in the flock in as well as any glue. Just a handy alternative if you’re worried about application time constraints.

    Couple suggestions,
    1, face and eye protection.
    2, keep a shop vac close so you can suck that "build up material" out of the way as you sand. I found that if i gave a good 3 minutes of sanding 30 seconds of vacum helped me not over sand and stay pretty even. Its easy to not realize how far down youve sanded if you dont get the sandy material out of the way the entire time.
    great vid i appreciate the help.

    they recommend you first fill the crack with the flexible plastic fiber rods using a plastic welder then using the padded dash filler. it is different then other body fillers as it is a flexible filler. The flocking came out looking good though great job!

    Instead of the flocking material, I wonder what would happen if you used laser copier toner. You'd need to do it outdoors somewhere because it would make a mess but should result in a super flat black surface. Could also mix colored toners from a color laser printer.
