shad0wca7 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 With the usual poor quality paint showing marks around the head unit and chubby hole, I'm thinking of having that part flocked rather than trying to repaint with textured paint and hoping it comes out ok. What are the thoughts on this? Can the rubberised paint still look factory and keep the texture of the plastic or is t really obvious?

coldel Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Search 'For Flocks Sake' on Facebook, guy on there does some great work and has done plenty of cars on the Celica forums. Very reasonably priced as well (£35 for my centre console I think he quoted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Flat it down and paint it with a matt black paint. Anything glossy or different (flocked or carbon) always looks aftermarket. But if you're not bothered about the factory look, flock on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 There are self flocking kits (seriously!) on ebay you can do a cheapo job with (sorry this is sounding more and more funny!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 But if you blank out the dash with the el cheapo SELF flocking kit you might feel like a flocking blanker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're not bothered about the factory look, flock on I have tinkered a bit with my interior and went for a gloss black (slight gold fleck) and think quite the opposite to the above, lots of cars come standard with gloss piano black, my mates Aston for example, its its good enough for them, its good enough for me. However, anything coloured, only in my opinion of course, does look very aftermarket and tacky. A black flock might look ok, but its a bit "rally car" for me Edited May 27, 2016 by Jetpilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A black flock might look ok, but its a bit "rally car" for me Please don't misinterpret aftermarket as being tacky, the op mentioned about keeping it factory looking. Piano black is on many luxury cars like your mates Aston and my old M6, but luxury and 350Z don't usually belong in the same sentence lol Yours looks excellent by the way, the flocking goes well with the gloss black and steering wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks a lot better than the dimpled OEM surface. Did you sand it all back first, the prime and paint, or prime first then sand and paint?
