can you flock rocker covers??

[pie]

as above can it be done ?

thanks:thumb:

[Iain]

Is it flammable? If so probably not a good idea...?

[Nick J]

I very much doubt it...... Before the flock material is applied they use glue for the flock to stick to. I imagine the first time it heats up all will melt and get very messy if not possibly set on fire as said above.

Nick.

A friend of mine had some done with some sort of crackle paint, looked like it had been flocked but can take the high engine temps.

[Rich]

Yes you can, get in contact with getflocked.co.uk


Cam covers (for engine noise reduction)

Sure they arent the only people that can do it, but i used them for my center console in the astra and think they did a good job

/\ but a cam cover wont get as hot as a rocker cover

I wouldnt try it

[Plug]

[Andy]

That looks pure garbage

[Iain]

What happens if you spill oil on it? Surely it'll go manky

a cam cover is a rocker cover, they both cover the cam's :confused:

[mowgli]

it still looks crap, even if that was only a photoshop, which i'm certain it was...... it'd probably get 2 15yr old lads weak at the knees at a show, and everyone else would say it was crap.... i mean, how would you go about basic servicing & de-greasing????

Guy hasnt had it on long but apparently it still seems ok.

I would not say its piratical.

[Nick J]

I stand corrected then..... You learn something new everyday! However Id want to see how long lasting/practical and safe it was over a substantial period before Id try it.

Nick.

[AlexW]

Yeah, Il keep an eye on the thread and try to remember to bump this if he says it goes a bit rubbish.

[Plug]

i thought it said cam belt cover lol FAIL haha

[Rexy]

Show car Fail...

[R1CH]

That looks pure garbage

I'm gonna say that it looks cool as f*ck, fair enough its not gonna be the most practical thing, but eh, who cares, its cool !!
lol

[Paul]

lol

Im with you

[R1CH]

Im with you

Too right !!
I've been thinking of getting my mountain bike frame and fork powder coated ... think i might get them flocked instead !! lol
It'd look awesome once first built, but i don't think it'd be to clever once its covered in mud !!

[AlexW]

Im on the fence with it. If done well, tied into other things, could look good imo.

[mowgli]

i really don't like it & i think if the car was driven hard, it would either melt, or set on fire....

[Alex J]

looks cool, and would soak up a good old xe oil leak!!

[MattBrown]

It's certainly not going to go on fire.

You paint them with rattle cans, an Riggys was done by Sean years ago, and drives like a chav everywhere, and you can just about touch it.

[mowgli]

i'm thinking of heat transfer from the exhaust manifold

[John]

That is cool as!

[Pistol Pete]

Do not like. Spillage mess/accident waiting to happen.

funnel?lol

[Rich]

All these do it yourselfers eh? leave it to the trade lol

I saw an evo down in brighton with a neon pink flocked rocker cover, looked cool as fcuk

[AlexW]

IMO, stain wise etc, its no worse than any cheap paint.

[pie]

thats were i got the idea from AW06 of corsa sport :lol:

abit dif from all the polished n painted xe covers

but as you say he aint had it long

[Bubba]

[Bubba]

will neon pink do it for you?>

[Edd]

Wonder if they do exhaust manifolds and brake disc :roll:

Looks utter crap IMO

[paul james]

It really will look crap soon, unless it never gets driven. Whats wrong with painting it or having it chromed, or spending the money on something more useful :)

[AlexW]

Its different?

[Edd]

Trailer queens will love that kind of shizzle
