Tuning inside the car: where to start?

Thus, there is a need to provide greater comfort through the improvement and comprehensive refinement of the entire car. In addition, the combination of appearance is also important. vehicle with his technical equipment. This is what is called tuning.

And for others, it is important to completely replay the style and design of their "iron horse". In the latter case, of course, it is unlikely that it will be possible to limit oneself only to one's own forces and one will have to turn to professionals. So the material costs will be much higher.

Car interior tuning - choose a method

Today, there are several main types of tuning, and the most popular among them is flocking, which implies the creation of a velvet surface. The first cars with a similar design were created in the USA, but over time, Switzerland took the reins from the Americans, and now it is she who is the leader in this area.

You should also pay attention to the carbon fiber trim. This fabric is made from carbon fibers and coated with epoxy resin. Its main advantages include an impeccable appearance, excellent strength characteristics, despite the rather low weight, and the ability to create a unique interior, since with its help you can easily recreate any pattern.

In addition, you can add zest to your personal vehicles, while emphasizing all its significance and solidity, by means of veneering. Such a finish will also speak of the impeccable taste of the owner, because natural wood has always been, is and will be in price. True, it is almost impossible to carry out such work on your own, unless, of course, you are a furniture master.

We make a unique tuning of the dashboard ourselves

In principle, make a good quality tuning dashboard And car showroom can be in specialized firms. But if there is a desire to personally take part in the creation of the design of your transport, then there is no problem in carrying out this procedure on your own. At the same time, it will be possible to significantly save your money, because the services of professionals are not a cheap pleasure.

For you will need the following tool: flock machine, primer for cars, color, paint brush and, of course, the special composition itself. Having collected all of the above items, you can begin to take action. First of all, you should remove the restored part and pull it out of the passenger compartment. At the same time, think right away how it will get back up, because after tuning it can not be bent in any case. Then, having cleaned the surface, we cover it with three layers of soil, while each layer should dry thoroughly.

In order for the velvet layer to be smooth as a result, the surface should be thoroughly polished before applying all of the above.

After completing all the preparatory work, you can freely proceed directly to the flocking itself, for this you need to carefully read the instructions that came with the device. Usually, before that, a layer of glue is also applied to the surface, and then it is processed by a machine. Those particles that do not stick are blown off with a hairdryer, but only with cold air. And you need to dry the layers in natural conditions in a well-heated room.

As for the carbon trim, everything is as easy as shelling pears in this matter. The main thing is to thoroughly clean the surface of the workpiece and apply a base layer on it. Remember that it must dry for at least two and a half hours. During this time, the resin should go into such a state that when touched it sticks, but does not leave any traces. Next, carefully apply the carbon fabric. Its edges need to be cut off a little with a margin and, having bent them, attach with masking tape. Then let the parts dry for six hours.

Do-it-yourself flocking of a car interior: work procedure and tools

Flock is a chemically treated textile, the flocked surface is velvety to the touch. Such a coating is obtained by "sticking" the flock fibers into the glue. The floccator charges the particles with an electromagnetic field and, having received an electric charge, they adhere perpendicularly to the prepared area. Flock is resistant to wet cleaning, does not fade and has a soundproofing effect.

Flocking technology can be done in a garage or home workshop. Do-it-yourself flocking of the car interior is complete or individual elements carried out using the following means:

2. The part is smeared with glue using a wide paint brush. Apply glue without gaps and as evenly as possible.
