Shitty pics and I did it a little thin, the glue dried too quick, try do it somewhere cool so the glue does t dry before you finish. Did the A pillars too, will do B and C at some point as well.

I got my dash suede wrapped by an auto trimmer. Came up mint and a more "premium" look over flocking IMO.

Was about $500 from memory, but he did a bit of custom work filling in vent holes and the dip on the passenger side of the dash.

Yeah I understand that.  But it might be worth talking to a couple of local auto-trimmers to see what they're prices are.  Might work out to be a couple $$ more than flocking but I reckon you'll get a better outcome.

 

But each to their own I suppose!

I tried suede wrapping my dash myself - was an absolute nightmare to do and turned out shit.  Was a waste of time and $$$.

 

To do flocking you need the right equipment otherwise you'll get a shit outcome.  If you want it done right either invest in the right equipment or just pay a professional!

Mine turned out good with an eBay kit, just didn’t give myself enough time for the powder before the glue dried
