Did you ever use glitter when you were little (or any other time in your life)? In general terms, flock works the same as glitter. You apply adhesive, put the flock on top, and you can reuse all the flock that didn't stick to the adhesive. Here's a link.

Flock is shredded suede. Flock is magnificent. Been working on boxes with suede.....

It's cheap. Doesn't have seams, and is nice and durable.

Where is defective on this one?

I have pics, and will post them tonight.

You can check with local install shops. I don't think places like Pep Boys or Advance carry them. If you are a business owner you can check with distributors. Don't necessarily have to buy online, but you could do research for it online.

That would be cool if someone could do a write up on it, showing pics step by step.

Oh man, I have tons of flockin' pics.

I have some old stuff, and some new stuff. I will post a link to my site, and just have a bunch there.

Give me a few hours, though!

Can get it in about 15 different colors. Matches Gray up nice to most trunk interiors.

Working on a tutorial.

Great stuff.

Thanx man, a tutorial would be awesome. I've found tonnes on glassing, but nothing on flocking.
