   so i have gone and got me a new dash board and was thinking of putting in all the prep work to get a really nice white gloss finish to it but when iv read about how much work is involved it has kinda put me off a little. so then i start thinking about flocking it..... again been told its alot of work but great results when finished.
   but then while browsing the many pages ebay has to offer i came across white carbon fibre effect sticker... this imo would be a hell of alot easier and look just as good with the time put into it....
   
   thoughts and opnions please
   cheers Anthony

   Think it would look quite nice, and yes would be alot less work.

   Just be careful if it's one big sticker...you don't wanna have air under one little part and end up ruining the rest of it.

   As everyone else has said, Take your time with it. I think the weave on vinyl warps a bit...Could be wrong though!

   Won't work on the dash unless you smooth it mate. The texture traps air so when the sun hits it the fake carbon lifts and causes bubbles.
