Default Flocking, who to use?

Hello guys,

looking to get dash and various other bits and pieces flocked,

wasn't sure who to use? Can find plenty places that do it online but unsure if some are useless or should be avoided?
I remembered that everyone used to rave about a place called autoflock?

Any advice appreciated!

Definitely on the decline nowadays, still rather a bit of flocking than 3sdms and 'big lows' 😄

Thought id say that raj at autoflock had emailed me a couple days ago but went straight to junk

very helpful today, and hopefully he will be doing some carbon work for me also after seeing some pics of a special s1's custom carbon dash

next problem is trying to source a genuine scuttle to give to raj to mould!! Its never easy!

Ive never wholly disliked it but never been mad on it either, I guess some cars it looks just right and overs I've seen it looks out of place.

OP probably is right to want to get it done by a reputable 'flocker'

I'm of the same opinion it only looks good on a race car or rally car
