Felted Interior Trim Pieces
Hey everyone! Currently in the process of a whole bunch of onterior work and the next thing I wanted to tackle were the trim piecea on the sides of the front seats. They are starting to get ratty looking. Has anyone tried restoring these? It looks like the felt like material was sprayed on. When you look at the back there are fibers in inconsistent patterns. Thanks

Re: Felted Interior Trim Pieces
I found a website once before, not sure where, that described the process for doing this. There is fiber powder that got sprinkled over an adhesive that was sprayed on the plastics. I'll see if I can find it. I didn't see ut in my bookmarks, but I know I kept that.

I saw Lee Valley has some packs but only one red colour and it looks too bright imo

Re: Felted Interior Trim Pieces
Good luck finding someone to flock it in the correct shade/color. Hard to tell from a computer monitor but your piece looks like my 1985 russet color, which never was very popular and now quite hard to find. My flocking is pretty badly worn, and when it gets to a point that it bugs me too much I'll probably have to figure something else out.

I figured in the meantime id just peel the old flocking off. The other pieces are pretty rough but the flocking seems to lift pretty easy. Theres just a normal textured trim piece under the flock with the same grain as the rest of the vehicle, so the good thing is it wouldnt look rough or bad at all just not flocked.
