suede dash

Postby l0n3w01f » Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:24 pm

as i was looking through the ccj forum... i came to some very interesting reply on
http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=4865

about the suede dash... i was really interested in those as well since right now i am flat broke after my trip to hk, after reading all those comment i started digging into how to put fabric onto the dash without screwing up the airbag when u actually need them... then adrian came and told me about "flocking"... something that i have no idea about it at first... started to dig into that, than realised flocking is the solution...

now...after doing some research into this... found a few great pictures that i would like to share...

i am realli thinking about doing these but it would almost mean i can't drive the car for a week since thats how long the flocked fabric will be cured...

what does everyone thinks about this...

ps. i will be doing mine in black

I'd be keen on this but I'd imagine it would cost a fair bit..

depending on what tools u use... range from 40us ( with mini flocker) up to 1000us with eletric tools... but 40us is enough... just the fabric, 3m spray, sand paper and a bottle to spray the fabric...

Not bad not bad, I've had a bit of a look into it and theres a place here in WA that will do it for ~$150ish which i'm considering..

I might go in there and ask em or maybe call 'em and find out more info

Try do a few google searches, theres bound to be other people in other car clubs that have had it done and those topics could say which place did it, that's how I found the WA one :P

Ahh damn :(

Hmm, perhaps try concord customs a club sponsor, they might be able to do it, or possibly recommend somewhere that can do it as they'd know more about this sort of stuff :)

I reckon, I'd probably start off with doing the A/B/C pillars Black to go with the blue suede roof and trial that.. make sure it doesn't come apart or make a mess or look cheap/nasty and if it's all good then I can extend it to the whole front dash and console... possibly even doors!


The only thing left to replace after that would be seats/carpet :P

haha... i will need to start it off some where small and closed most of the time so that if it doesn't look good i don't have to replace it... thinking about the glove box first :)

Go to the wreckers and buy some interior parts. No matter what car it's from, and just practice. Buy 12 or more parts, cost you $40 but saves you $100s if it means you won't screw up your Lancer dash because you practiced.

all the tool is is a highvoltage static charger, builds up a static charge on the applied surface to make the fibers stand on end. otherwise it would just be a flat fibrous material, rather then the true look of that specific fiber you apply (outwards)

atleast the ones i looked at where that
