What the flock? Recovering a Miata Dash Flock Style

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Flocking is no new thing. It's been around for a long time and it looks cool. Recently someone flocked their dash on their NA and I have been having some ideas. The flock looks great! If you don't know what flock looks like, its a dust you lay on glue and it comes out looking like vinyl!

This is an example of a flocked Miata dash. This is the kit you buy!

Or something like that. It's all the same.

I'm thinking of flocking parts of my Miata. Thinking of doing the crash pad, gauge cover, and the top part of the doors. Reminds me of the interior of the new porsches (I may be crazy)

After thinking about all this I realized I had flocked something a few years back!

That is my own Deadmau5 head I made back in 2010! I got it out of my closet tonight and the flock is still good! If I rub it hard tiny particles do come off, BUT, it is three years old and covered in dust.

Anyway, what have you flocked?
Do you flock often?
Should I flock my car?
Anyone have lots of experience with flock and give advice?


Thanks everyone!:mrgreen:

I wonder if this will help get rid of the raised bump on my NB dash. There is a spot where the dash is lifting and it drives me crazy. Almost want to get a dash mat.

Jeremy tried talking me into getting my dash flocked, but every time I see/hear flocking I can't think of anything other than the disgusting mess it turns into after a few years of being sun-baked. You ever see flocking when it wears out? It is like when you turn your air on after installing that heater core and the foam from the panels on the core gets blasted out of the vents.

Here's some more inspiration!

The fifth picture is what I'm thinking of doing.... But I'm worried about it wearing down after years if sun baking.

Flock that is flocking awesome. A flocked deadmau5 head on the headliner would be pretty flocking awesome.
