Flocking aluminium cockpit panels
Would flocking my aluminium cockpit panels be a good alternative to trimming with carpet?
I'm assuming its a bit lighter than carpet, but not sure what quality of finish you could expect, especially when it comes to wear resistance!

apparently you can flock anything that is non porous, the proper places use 2 part epoxy resin so i assume it sticks like the proverbial to a
blanket
suffolk flocking services does it, check out thier website
http://www.suffolkflockingservices.co.uk/
and check out the the faq, they frequently do track day cars door panels from thin aluminium, so worth at least a quote? if you do find out what it
cost can you post back cos id like to know but im ages away from that part!

Yeah, I was thinking that epoxy based flocking must have reasonable durability.
Cheers for the link, i'll phone Suffolk Flocking tomorrow, and will report back with my findings!

I'm not 100% but I think either Garage19 (Doug) or someone he knows does the flocking service...
He may be the posted link above as he's from round them parts!
