you know the cool looking dashboard the WRC cars have? zero glare. the technique is called flocking.

Has anyone here done it, or know where to get it done?

 

I was wondering this too after seeing that guy in the UK have it done.

 

pretty sure you can get thsi done at any christmas tree lot

 

anyone have any pictures of this? makes me interested

 

flocking = glue (3M spray or otherwise) + material (sand, powder, dust, etc)

Peep your local hobby shop.

Hmm, +1. Does anyone have a photo handy? I'd like to see the finished product.

Thank you Mcdrama!

 

uhmm you think a powerdercoating place might be able to do it?

 

btw, flocking doesn't stand up to every day usage very well. I've done it in a bunch of different projects but there's no way I would do my dash in a daily driver. I'd predict that it would look like **** by the end of the week.

 

What method was used for applying the flock? Your fellow britts seam to agree that a high electrostatic charge(60,000 volts) is required for a proper long lasting application.

 

they honduh guys with the gloss white dashboards must use polarized sunglasses

 

It seems to me that anything that could take the shine away would be grand. Even a high quality matte spray. Of course you wouldn't be able to say it was like the rally cars and whatever, but it would get the glare away... Another option would be to find a way to attach some black felt to the dash, but that could get messy for sure! Wonder if there is any non-shiny speaker grille-cloth as it stretches nicely, so it would conform to odd shapes on the dash.
