Electrostatic all the way - flocking has come way down in price - when I was looking at this about 5-6 years ago it was about £400 for a dash - its a quarter of that now.

I bought a hand held electrostatic applicator - you need to have the right adhesive as well - I was using epoxy based stuff which had an adhesive and hardener part - mix together and you have a 30 minute window to get the flock applied.

Whats this flocking stuff like weather wise as my hardtop for the mx5 needs repainting to look mint but I wouldn't mind it flocked black think it would look good tbh also how much.would I be looking at and could the rear window and rubber stay in place whill its being flocked

Think how much abuse an action man got when you were a kid, his hair was flock, if done professionally it would be fine.

Go back 1 page and see the wheels and engine parts posted earlier

I did see them but the wheels look.like they have only just been done I want to know it will hold up to weather abuse for years not weeks matey

As said earlier, the resin and proper application is the key but it should last a good few years,

Sounds Like a good option then better then repaying money wise aswell
