Is there a diy kit you can buy?

 

yes. It was in one of the ford mags a few months back. Im sure some boffin will remember the issue and details. Apparently its ok and produces functional ok bits. But the proper professional stuff looks much better as the strands all stand up properly.

The DIY kits are non starter. With out the electrostatics the fibres do not stand on end or embed in the adhesive.

Basicially you will end up with un even clumps of what looks like hoover dust that will fall off if you even think about touching it.

There are a few people on here that have tried it. I suggest you speak to one of them and find out how they got on before wasting your money.

I get dashes all the time from people who have tried the frost kit first. One guy had spent £90 on three kits to cover an impreza dash and was threatning legal action to get his money back he was so disapointed.

 

frost kit is good for small bits - i did some door handles. No way i would use it for a dash though.
