i am going to get my dash flocked, i was going to get all the interior panels flocked too, or should i get the pillar covers, rear cards etc wrapped, not in carbon but just vinyl, possibly leather pattern?

ideas/views welcome

We've used some leather effect vinyl at work (im a sign maker) and it looks pretty smart. My boss has used it to wrap some interior parts on his old sunbeam tiger and it definitley tidys everything up.

Dont think its too cheap tho.

fake leather vinyl sounds horrendous, i would vote flock them

Do the look of flock and leather go together? Worth pricing up both before deciding I guess, plain black fabric can look OK

I wouldnt attempt wraping dashboard in vinyl, would definitley flock. The leather effect vinyl like i say looked good on a classic car but not sure about in a nova.

The thing is my dash will deffo be flocked. But all the other parts would then be grey, but I'd rather they were black. But I thought painting them would look terrible. So I was thinking flocked dash with Matt black vinyl pillars etc. But I may just flock the lot

i'm not going to comment on the flock, cause i'm biased but i honestly don't think vinyl would look very nice. you could possibly get the pillars etc trimmed in alcantara or just a normal fabric? something that matches your seats maybe?
