flocking???

[Toydx1]

i have been thinking about flocking the full dash board in my mk1 nova but a mate says its really expensive does any body know how expensive?? also i found a link on mig web where a lad had done it his self it looked smart and i have found a website that sells the flocking stuff so that i could do it but does any body have any idea on what type of glue would best be used ??? any help would be appreciated thanks ..... ToY

The flocking kits come with a glue don't they?

[Toydx1]

i dont realy know, the web site i was on only sold the bags without the glue i need to have a better look around just thought some one on here could of shortened that look.

Give these guys a call for a price ;) http://www.suffolkflockingservices.co.uk/examples-flocking-dashboard.asp

Always better to give people a call IMO just incase you need to ask more questions.

[Toydx1]

good thinking well a think that might be my next plan of action like thanks

I wouldnt use suffolk flocking to be honest pal.... I very much doubt they will get back to you either! A dash is approx £100 so I wouldnt say its particulary expensive to have pro done really. Myself and a few others off here have used the guy before below though. He's friendly,quick and does a top job........

My Nova dash, console, glove box door (mk2), fuse box cover etc.
All the little ods & sods that make the MK2 dash up done few years back & cost a little over £100 cash.
I had to drop of & collect about a week later.

Use the pro's if i were you. I used the company that do M-Sports WRC cars & ProDrive's race cars, so were more than qualified to do a Nova dash!!!

Have you started a wip thread on your car yet?

As said, a pro job is going to be nearly flawless assuming you use the right people.
I have seen the frost kits used DIY to good effect. Personally I would give it a shot, esp if I had a spare/test dash to use, but fall back on another spare if the worst happens.

Peester has a flocked mk1 dash on his car, see his projects thread obv.

nah aint started one but going to do it soon just aint got a lot of time on ma hands due to nearly finishing my collage stuff haha ano but has to be done and yer i thought of doing it with the frost kits but i think am just going to get it done pro

[nuds sr]

i bought one of the frost kits and would probly need about 3 frost kits to do a full nova dash and is very messy doing it yourself and is easy to get dust stuck in it too and takes a good 24 hours to dry before you can touch it
so by the time you go to all this effort you could get some one else to do it professionally for a similar sort of price
would recommend using the pro's for a mint job

FCM in Bristol can do flocking, last time I checked they were quoting around £70 for a small dashboard, Nova-sized. But that was well over a year ago, so their prices may have gone up since then.
