I've been wondering (for a long time now) how your flocked dash is holding up. There are lots of videos now about how to repair and flock a dash, but very few do a long-term follow up. I know you did the repair and flock a long time ago, so would really like your input. Thanks.

[@cdb5001]

I flocked the center console of my 1998 Alfa Romeo GTV. The center console on there cars was notoriously garbage and would crack or disintegrate regularly. I custom molded a piece to fit and flocked it. It was great over the last 4 years (sold the car this summer), only issue was a coffee stain I got on it, which was very tedious to clean up because of the material.

[@PaganWizard]

I have used this in some small woodworking projects like lining the drawer in a small jewelry box. The method I used to glue down the flocking is paint that is very close to the color of the flocking. This allows the paint to hide any spots you may have missed with the flocking. Nice job!!!!

[@NicholasMaietta]

I'll be doing this to my 1979 Dodge van. This does look amazing, i love the result. Thank you for this video.

I flocked all of the interior metal panels in the back of my VW T4 camper. Given that it was such an extensive area to cover I didn’t bother using the glue supplied with the kit. Instead I used a brand of metal paint who’s name I shouldn’t advertise but I know that you know it’s Hammerite. I applied it with an imperialist 2” brush. Because the consistency of the paint is a bit thicker than the glue it laid down nice and flat without noticeable brush strokes. This gave me a working window of around 3 hours to apply the flock. As the paint dried it locked in the flock in as well as any glue. Just a handy alternative if you’re worried about application time constraints.

Nice look, next time put painters plastic to catch the rayon for later repairs or touch-ups. I'm doing this to a dash cap so I won't have to remove the dash. Good work

[@TheOriginalLugnuts]

they recommend you first fill the crack with the flexible plastic fiber rods using a plastic welder then using the padded dash filler. it is different then other body fillers as it is a flexible filler. The flocking came out looking good though great job!

[@mexican12330]

Damn nice DIY.

[@georgelalama8154]

I would have done it in sections so that I wouldn’t have to hurry before the glue dries. That way you could apply the material with confidantes and ease. Good job though boys!👍🏻

[@johnryangranada8026]

Do you have a video where the dash is featured inside the car? Looking forward to seeing that...

[@regisdrift]

[@neonnerd1364]

You don't wet sand body filler. Getting it wet causes it to swell and bubble. Body filler absorbs water very well.

[@davydmir6565]

quality content!

[@gaudenciohernnadez1212]

About time lol. Miss videos

[@Bluuplanet]

Instead of the flocking material, I wonder what would happen if you used laser copier toner. You'd need to do it outdoors somewhere because it would make a mess but should result in a super flat black surface. Could also mix colored toners from a color laser printer.

[@mastering58]

How's the maintenance of this dash? I repainted my IS300 dashboard after repairing it's sticky problem and it's hard to maintain - lots of dust settling and staying on the dash even after wiping multiple times

[@loo0nz691]

Mad video looks dope

[@sebastianpodhorodecki4193]

That was the first video i’ve seen on your channel, that’s when i fell in love with it 😁

[@1IRoyle]

Couple suggestions, 1, face and eye protection. 2, keep a shop vac close so you can suck that "build up material" out of the way as you sand. I found that if i gave a good 3 minutes of sanding 30 seconds of vacum helped me not over sand and stay pretty even. Its easy to not realize how far down youve sanded if you dont get the sandy material out of the way the entire time. great vid i appreciate the help.

[@anuragmathur6159]

I used to have that ring tone, years ago.

[@sparkeyjones6261]

Bondo? Doesn't whatever you fill the cracks with need to be able to expand and contract? If I thought this would last more than a year or two without cracking again, I would absolutely consider doing this on my e28.

[@amaterasu8829]

I have a grey dashboard, and would like to flock it black. Will the grey be noticeable after the black flock is applied?

if you touch it once cured will you leave finger prints or marks? and how do you clean it

[@namenim_]

I remember some other video where someone flocked their dash and mentioned that you can just clean it with wet wipes and that you don't really leave any marks, but don't rely on me lol

[@RaveIndianOfficial]

once it is cured, you can touch it how much you want without any marks. For cleaning use wet fabric (not paper towel, it leaves its pieces on the surface) and just clean it. ;)

[@DirtyGarageTx]

Is there a way to screw up on flocking ? Also how do you know if you have flocked evenly ?

[@mustangboss1246]

nice job... But a tip for next time... Try using a smooth tile for mixing body filler on... Cleans off allot easier, mixes better and is more stable to work with... My buddies laugh at the tile in my tool box.... But it works lekker

[@markmccawley2526]

Cut the corner off of a ziplock bag filled with bondo and pipe it in like cake icing. This helps with the excessive material build up. good job.

acetone on vinyl causes extreme shrinkage and even more cracking.. likely many of the cracks you thought you missed were actually cracks you created..

[@andrewlangford88]

I did something similar but I used normal body filler and it has cracked after about 6 months in the sun. I might try it with the padded dash filler and see if that stops it from cracking

Electro static flocking produces a far better result. You can use a scented / flavoured additive in the clue to lesson the smell of clue. Prep work takes longer due to attacking aluminium foil the the rear of the panel to earth it to the high voltage generator
