Re: What did you do to your van today?
Storage bin, visors and A pillars will be done sometime soon. I'm contemplating flocking those bits, or should I say having them flocked.
I skipped this morning's watering of the lawn as I had planned the headlining job. It will get a good watering tonight.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
That’s similar to what I’m thinking, but it’ll be the dash that I’ll get flocked. You had much experience with it, just wondering how hard waring it is?

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I would honestly stay away from flocking and just dye (paint) like you already are. Only my opinion but I don’t like it. I also wonder how long it will last. I recon your always be hoovering it up off the seats and floor mats.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Iv flocked my sun visors and there Quite good for a first attempt, I’d get the electrostatic machine if I do more tho. I tried painting them with plasti dip spray and didn’t like it, even weeks later I was getting black fingers. I carpeted my storage tray, a+b posts but when I get the time I will take it off the a post and flock.

Just a suggestion for you guys who have taken out your headliners. If it was me, I’d throw a bit of silent coat or similar on the roof while you’re at it. Might just help reduce cabin noise a bit

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Where did you get the glass from and for how much?
I'm currently looking to do this for mine but can't find the two rear glass panels for any less than £200 Inc postage.
Thanks
Paul
