Bought a flocking kit from Frosts, going to flock the top of the dash above the clocks on my Mk2 Nova.

Anyone gone DIY before and that can offer any hints or tips?

Flocking involves positive charging the dash and then firing flock material at it. The flock is like fuzzy felt, all small little bits, not a roll of material.

Alot of rally cars have their dashboards flocked a it reduces glare off the screen.

Imagine black felt/suede....
