What the flock is "flocking fauxed" is that the same as normal flocking? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

proper flocking looks great, but i cant recommend the diy kits!! "Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

There was a flocked dash top for sale on [shh]Miniforum[/shh] for £50 which I thought was cheap - but I guess no good in this instance.

Yeah thats the problem, alot of the companies quote per job. And its difficult to describe/measure the area that needs covering. Local would be best anyway as it would aslo save on postage. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
