@@SuprSi it's not me being a douche. First go learn a thing or two about tuning, then go learn about the 2jz and how hard it is to fuck one up, then go watch his video on what happened to it. The tuner was obviously pressing numbers and had no clue what he was doing.
It's a great cheap and simple DIY but I feel like over time the quality and look of a suede wrapped dash turns out much better. Also the flocked look always turns out slightly patchy and tacky looking, where as an entire suede sheet wrapped over the dash looks more Oem especially when tied into the door card
I'm a master technician and the one and only types of jobs I usually skip over are removing the dash, I hate it so much!!! You guys did a really good job.
you need to widen out the cracks on the dash so it stops cracking.Use a rotary tool or something. Then use body filler to fill and even it out. Then you flock.
I enjoy your channel from most other car channels because your real chill and never on the hype crazy wild energy... Good job keep it up... Hopefully in a year or 2 I would like you to review my 95 240sx its in development... I agree first time I pulled my dash I was like damn this car will never be the same again it looked so technical. I should of flocked mines then instead of spraying it gloss black... I didn't even think of glare at the time worst choice ever... you should of really sealed up those cracks
Always did enjoy these little instructional videos because their so relaxing and everyone is chilled back🤙 even Alexandra with her sparkling and non challant personality 🤗 great vid👍
This is cool. I apologize but I’m taking a page out of your book in that I’m going to paint my IROC-Z 2.0 liter turbo project the same color blue. I know it’s a ford color but I fell in love with it. Love the content man keep it up
Great video as usual! Off subject, I really would love to see another video review of the Campagna T-Rex 16SP with just YOU ALONE driving, free to give your thoughts. Take Care and keep up the good work.
I've never seen this in person be done but I like the outcome. So how would you detail you're dash after preforming this with as minimal damage to the fabric??
Curious to why you wouldnt fix/fill the crack then flock? Why put effort in to making it look nicer just to half ass it. Great video, good results. The logic just throws me?!
How has it aged? Been thinking about doing some bits and pieces in my VE commodore SS (Pontaic G8 for you american folk) I might tinker with a something small and try and hit it with a matt sealant to preserve and protect it. Awesome video mate
@@alexbjarki5021 My family has had at least 20 different Subaru vehicles from the late 80s up to a 2006 Tribeca and all of them had perfect dash boards. Only real issue I have seen is a little bit of peeling on the covering of the door cards in the 90s Imprezas.
BMW actually uses this technique on their interiors for things like the inside of the glove box and other things that aren’t obviously seen. However they don’t pump it on, they use a gun for both the adhesive and the flock and spray them both on before sending it through an oven. Finally, in order to get the extra flock off, each piece is manually sprayed off using compressed air.
Do they have this in red? I would do this to my dash and the rear dash behind my seat.😮😮 pretty cool. I have cracks I can fill in with acrylic first to make the cracks smooth.
Unfortunately I'm on my 2nd Focus ST and one of the things I wanted to do with my first one was to flock the dash, but it was a 402a ST ( ST3 as they're better known ) so it had all those extra electronics and the touch screen to deal with so I felt uncomfortable wanting to do that. Now my 2nd ST is just a basic one so less electronics and wiring to deal with and I still want to flock the dash, but it's still a more modern car than something like a 240sx. I can only imagine how much easier it is to remove the dashboard out of an older car as opposed to a more modern one.
Love the dash David, but why do you keep having motors built? I’ve found jz’s to be most reliable when they’re stock. A stock 2j should be able to be at the 600 hp mark you had made EASY. Once you start building them they don’t always stay reliable tbh
I'm thinking about doing this to my Del Sol. looks clean. btw the chick in the video looks Beautiful 😍 lol like how she jokes around in the background 😆. anyhow,once again great video.
I'm thinking about doing this to my side door panels..Just trying to cover a few scratches..The top part of the panel is leather mid part of the panel is cloth Bottom part is plastic and that's the part I want to cover ....how do you think it will hold up It's for a Mazda six maybe I'll do all the panels for all the doors ,The dash already have a custom pad thats Swede
Definitely should have laid epoxy over, and behind the crack and sanded it back down. Would have made it seamless, and you would have a 1of1 MINT S13 dash. Came out very nice overall, tho. Good, even coverage.
Flock is not anywhere near suede by the way. Flocking looks cool for 10 minutes. It gets faded quickly and cannot get cleaned. It's permanently dirty. Great for race cars, not good for a clean street car.
You’re right it’s not. But it doesn’t fade quickly and we’ve cleaned mine by vacuuming it. I haven’t had a problem with my dash for over a year of racing and sitting outside.
With a bit more prep the cracks can be fully "gone". Still, good result for minimum effort. I kind of want to do this to my complete interior which is all ugly hard plastic.
Pacmeezy187 you can’t really lay flock “thicker” because there is only so much the glue can hold. Trowing it by hand is a huge pain in the ass. The flock is way too thick in some parts and thin when throwing it by hand. It turns out much better with the applicator.
@@101Cristiano100 Honestly flocking is way easier than wrapping the dash of a 180/240, but if you have the ability to do it in suede I just think its cleaner and has a better feel to it!
David is the man with the master plans Driving dope cars with some serious fans Reviewing lots of rides that are sick and rare Do yourself a favor, get some patterson care! (Rhymes)
Just an observation / query -- Would doing the dash in segments reduce the rush. i.e. glue part then flock, rinse and repeat. If doing all in one...by the time you have finished applying the glue, the first area could already be dry?
So satisfying!
Have you ever done this process?
Oh..and who can spot today’s Easter egg?
You should do a video on Saabkyle04's 240sx build in the future.
ThatDudeinBlue I did a carpet cover for my IrocZ dash. Looks good for the era of the vehicle. Might do something like this in the future though.
@@ThatDudeinBlue a big box when you holding 2J spark plug cover?
I’ve done it twice 😘
I'm glad David didn't go overboard and flock it in blue.
You should epoxy the cracks first to hide them 100%
Agree
Maybe use Urethane so it has some flex?
I'd just use caulk and then flock it
Bondo
@@CoochieKissKing gum
Definitely should do this to my integra.
*facts*
My 91 blue interior was strongest part of my car dont miss that rear suspension was never happy long
definitely
big facts
Scrap it
some tips if you do flock another dash:
use a mask as to not inhale the powder
epoxy the cracks on the dash before you flock it
use gloves
Tiger16453 inhaling the flock builds character
So common sense things 😂
1:37 *points to the deep blackness of the underdash
“Here, here, and here”
Gonna go ahead and remind you to find a better tuner for the next motor
Standard douchebaggery - blame the tuner.
Have tuning grandpa do it. Great crossover episode.

Kiran Patel if there’s patches in your dash after flocking you’re doing it wrong.
do you have any content on your escort?
I love that you're modding your cars again!
One of my friends told me about this a few years ago, I forgot about it and never saw how it was done, def doing this to my track car's dash
AlphaJDM I totally recommend this for a track car
I'm a master technician and the one and only types of jobs I usually skip over are removing the dash, I hate it so much!!! You guys did a really good job.
Thats awesome. But you're supposed to drimmel down the cracks then fill with bondo for plastic. But it still looks very nice. Good job 👌
Flocking is the new movement.
I usually sand the cracks in the dash then fill it with epoxy or plastic so it looks smooth before painting over it
Just bought a Honda beat. Might be the perfect car to try flocking the dash and maybe even the door panels!
Filling the cracks with epoxy might be a good idea.
Tyler Andrews Much better than TJ Hunts gf 😂

At 7:30 I’m guessing this video was shot before the Mustang grille video was done?
I will probably consider to do this on my GT-R 🙌
Sick
Flexing everywhere.
Isn’t the GT-R leather? I’m confused
Unactive LOL he is just low key plugging his channel.

VQ_Family Toronto you can vacuum it
10:32 in the upper left corner of the screen (the dash above the cluster) it looks like someone put their naked foot on the dash
It does...
Probably Alejandra
Almost spit my coffee all over the screen when I pictured all of the Porsche factory workers pumping flock on everything.
I really like Alejandra's purple hair! :)
Cheers for the flocking vid too, i'd heard of it but never seen it done.
Wow. I always thought you were supposed to wrap it in fabric. This looks so much better
Alex1234845 technically you are supposed to wrap it but flocking is the cheap and easy alternative while accomplishing the same thing.
Nice to see mama out and about in the vids. Y’all are cute together.

Mom stop embarrassing me in front of my friends.
Fully considering doing this to my SC when i do the dash for from tan to black
90s Subaru dashboards don't crack, just saying. :)
Nice job ! Wonder if you could fill the crack with some flexible glue first to help hide them.
Can confirm. Got a 2000 subaru impreza gf8. Dash is in perfect condition

Hey David. thinking about buying some of your detailing product. What do you recommend for decontaminating your paint?
germ x

I thought homie was wearing a Black Label Skateboards tee for a moment. Brought back some middle school memories!

old grille on smurrf, nice continuity david :D

Dude in blue, they just watched. Like always.
Looks awesome! I should do it to my messed up Camry dash!
Damn that came out nice! I should have flocked my dash instead of getting my car done in suede.
I remember when Sonny from illiminate did this a few months back looks good

How durable was it 2 years on? Also is the glue just coloured contact adhesive ?
Definitely should have laid epoxy over, and behind the crack and sanded it back down. Would have made it seamless, and you would have a 1of1 MINT S13 dash.
Came out very nice overall, tho. Good, even coverage.

Electrostatic flock applicator is what you want to use, not this Pringles jar. The result is totally different.
Might do this to my c30
Probably gonna do this to the top portion of the dash in my S281!
Wow this is a great idea !!
Why is flocking it good? I know it wont have reflections that much on the windshield but anything else?
At that dude in blue, at that girl in red, at that James in the woods
Derek Harper 😂😂😂 best comment
we flock parts for BMW where I work. a guys uses a paint gun for the glue. a robot holds it under a shaker for the flocking part. its nasty stuff.
Do starlights on the headliner
Epoxy will fill and seal the cracks before you flock it... Looks sick though!
Was just thinking about undertaking this for my Peugeot 306.
With a bit more prep the cracks can be fully "gone". Still, good result for minimum effort. I kind of want to do this to my complete interior which is all ugly hard plastic.

Lol, if this were evan shanks, this would've been titled "ZOMG I F***KED MY DASHBOARD"
Does this stuff end up falling apart? It seems like it would
Where can I buy this stuff?
Soon 1 Million subscribers
I wonder how this would look on a new edge mustang interior? 🤔
I seen caleb quanbeck video also and you can just grab the black stuff and trow it with your hand so it lays thicker

James Wood Is it possible to mask it off and flock it in sections to make a solo job easier? I'm assuming lines would be the only downside.
I’m sure it’s possible but they lines will show up and I don’t think it’ll be a good finish
Same thing in my 180 🙌🏻 big fan but I’ll probably end up wrapping it in actual suede at some point..
So what's better flocking or buying suede material and just doing that?

I suggest fix the dash with fiberglass bondo. Check out Throtl's video for more in depth
man... she was throwing some serious flock at people without AC in their project cars!
I would love to do this on my Saab but removing all the pieces behind it is actually way more complex 😂 is it possible to do it in the car ?
Would love to do this to my 2000 Z28 but I think my dash is just too cracked at this point 🙃 I’ll just have to stick with my silver dash cover
so you think it could work on the steering wheel???

Where can i get this kit?? It looks sooooo good!!!!
Leonard Simmons you can buy it at flockit.com
Does Alejandra mode her car?
What would you do if you also have small chunks ( quarter to 1/2" ) of the dash missing?
Plastic Welding would probably work using the generic black body/bumper sticks, they are a bit flexible and super strong.
