Did you know?

You can mix different coloured flocking together to make a new colour? Much the same as you do with paint.

I had some green flocking but it was too bright for my Chevy, so I mixed in some yellow and brown and it made it a much darker, earthier green.

I thought it was a cool trick and you might like to know.

cool thats handy to know mate (stoopid question time) but wot the hell is flocking ?

I had heard that Bryce, but haven't tried it yet. It worked out ok?

Good tip Bryce, will give it a go.
Something I found out the other day, did you know that Tamiya and Mr Hobby acrylics will mix with auto acrylic lacquer, yep, suprised the crap out of me too.

Boothy, flocking is fibres of velour, and thats exactly what it looks like when its done.........properly lol

Boothy, here's a tutorial on flocking, http://www.briansmodelcars.com/tutorials/tutorial/8

Seems obvious now that you mentioned you can mix flocking colours. Until I seen it on Zenrats Bee I never gave it a thought.

Andy was the original flocking mixmeister.
Some mixing works better than others.
Black & white for example looks more speckled than grey.
Also depends on how long you shake the colours together for.
