since you really dont see the interior, i only detail what i can with paint , i have never used flocking, any others want to chime in for advise on this

it is really easy,you brush white glue where you want the flocking then pour it5 on and shake it around when the white glue dries you tap on the part to get the loose flocking off and your done.looks good in convertibles.

Here's one I've been working on for about 6 months. Getting close. Just a few small details left.
Also a Charger I've started. Don't know what color. Thinking about sassy
grass and calling it snakeinthegrass, or copper and calling it copperhead.
