Flocking.... - Piggy - 12-03-2013
I have made a number of enquiries with companies...
unfortunately the cheapest are miles and miles away and courier price would double the job price...
close unit to me does it...they want £200+vat JUST for the dash
so....anyone know of reasonably priced places south midlands, gloucs, wiltshire, warwickshire, worcestershire areas??
and secondly...I am seriously looking into a flocking kit...a electrostatic small kit to do it meself.
If I did and with practice got a fine finish...would there be any interest in parts being done on here??....
thinking generally easy to send small parts??
RE: Flocking.... - Matt - 12-03-2013
If you bought your own gear I'd want a few parts done
RE: Flocking.... - Piggy - 12-03-2013
what would people expect to pay? I aint looking to be a millionaire...just want to know I could cover the costs
RE: Flocking.... - Matt - 12-03-2013
Any idea on what the costs of doing peices would be?
If it was me I'd look at what it cost to actually do items + postage. Then add £5/10 on top.
That way it will work out quite cheap IMO and probably get a fair few people wanting it done
RE: Flocking.... - Slam Wagon - 12-03-2013
Possible interest for a few bits doing. Im sure i know a few people that would be after some more if its a good price
RE: Flocking.... - Pompey306mark - 12-03-2013
Good luck with postage mate, you will end up with a load of returns.
Flocking is easily crushed. You can't use bubble wrap as that leaves circular imprints in the flocking.
Here is what I paid for mine.
Dash £85 including glovebox and fuse cover.
ABC pillar and roof handles. £65
Lower console and floor surround £40.
Centre fascia, and vents £25.
Something along those lines. He has a full pricelist on his site.
RE: Flocking.... - Piggy - 12-03-2013
thats mega cheap...where is this guy and his site??
can post without too much bother little parts...time to allow to cure that people forget
RE: Flocking.... - Pompey306mark - 12-03-2013
He is down here is portsmouth/ gosport.
And it's nothing to do with curing, it's not like paint that does hard. It's a material and with a bit of pressure it marks. Best way to remove the marks is with steam and a tooth brush.
RE: Flocking.... - Piggy - 12-03-2013
yeah i know what it is...but theres still curing needed depending on the adhesive used....some take an hour...others 10-12

My mate does flocking... sure he said around £150 for a dash... no vat!!!
RE: Flocking.... - Piggy - 12-03-2013
thats still £65 more than the chap mentioned above....and I can buy a decent small kit for that and make me money back doing odd bits for others

yeah, I know its not cheap, however I know he spent ages
getting the correct adhesive for it, never had one peel yet and he supplies
for a lot of rally cars..... road cars is just a sideline, he also has a flow bench
and can re cut valve seats lightening balancing etc etc...
RE: Flocking.... - Piggy - 12-03-2013
right...yeah Im ok on the valves...just curious about flocking!
RE: Flocking.... - Matt - 12-03-2013
Crack on and buy your own
RE: Flocking.... - Piggy - 12-03-2013
yeah once I sold some more parts I will be
RE: Flocking.... - Matt - 12-03-2013
Goo to hear

I bought a flocking kit from frost auto restorations near me and it did a really good job everyone who saw it said it looked really good and the kit was only £18.50 I thought it was worth a go.
RE: Flocking.... - Matt - 12-03-2013
£18.50 ?! Christ even if give it ago for the lols
RE: Flocking.... - Piggy - 12-03-2013
was that just a glue and puff kit??
Im looking at a electrostatic jobby...gets the nylon flock particles to stand on end as they should...better feel, more even coverage and lasts longer
RE: Flocking.... - Curt - 12-03-2013
I've heard not so good things about the cheapo kits
Flocking.... - Y444TES - 12-03-2013
This is the kit I had I bought an extra bag of flock to cover everything I just took my time and made sure it was well covered.

RE: Flocking.... - Piggy - 12-03-2013
yeah if its just a dust/blow onto an adhesive its not as good as the charged stuff obviously.
but to be honest...£200 or £20...if it aint a show car, who cares if its not quite as good?!

I'll be using them for adhesives and flocking material but using a electrostatic tool to apply it.
I'll also be getting the fire proof adhesive rather than just general modeling flocking glue
Flocking.... - Y444TES - 12-03-2013
It's not as good as the charged flocking but like you say it's not cheap i do like flocking just go for the best you can afford I only bought that kit because I had a spare dash and I don't like paying for other people to do stuff I think I can do haha.
RE: Flocking.... - darrenjlobb - 13-03-2013
Forgive me for being the dumb arse here...but what exactly is the point in this flocking? Is it just literally a cosmetic thing? Looks like a bit of a farce to keep looking right / I dont even see how it looks that good?! lol
RE: Flocking.... - declantg - 13-03-2013
I thought it was to stop dash glare in rally? Or am I waaaaay off

Spot on...!
RE: Flocking.... - declantg - 13-03-2013
RE: Flocking.... - Piggy - 13-03-2013
yeah few benefits....
looks ace
stops glare
looks ace
RE: Flocking.... - Curt - 13-03-2013
When done properly it's actually really versatile and hard wearing, seen a few flocked rocker covers. Wouldn't do it my self, but the used one I saw or sale still looked good
RE: Flocking.... - declantg - 13-03-2013
When I get a spare £20 I'm going to give that kit a go
