Click picture please. REALLY important that I find out how to make it look new again. Even if I can't do it who can I send it to? If you didn't know its a seat panel.

There was just a post about refinishing the "fuzzy covers" recently. I don't remember what the solution (if there even was one) was. I'm certainly not aware of any way to restore those fuzzy things.

Do a google search for "flock coating" or "spray on flocking".

I would guess you will have to scrape off all of the old stuff, then sand it smooth, then paint it the correct color, then spray it with a clear adhesive, and then flock it with the correct color flocking.

I've never done this.

I would say belker is right. I know you can buy flocking dust in different grains at any hobby shop that sells model train stuff. I buy it to make carpets in my model cars. It is available in an amazing range of colors

Hello

I saw your post on an upholstery forum I belong to and here I am

I do think it is flocked...but with out hands on I cant say for sure. You can take it to a good auto trim shop and they can match fabric and or vinyl. They can custom fit a cover for you that is better than flocked. I have done Lamborghini Rep.interiors and used four-way stretch vinyl and heated it a bit and looks factory molded. Just a thought or two on the subject. This picture is fourway stretch for windshield uprights.....The grey piece is covered with volara foam and then covered with vinyl....fabric will have seams to custom fit it.....
