A revolutionary textured spray paint, Faux Fabrix creates a soft,
fabric-like
finish for upholstered seats, tonnau covers, convertible tops,
trunk, chassis,
engine bay insulation racing seat shells and more! Created not just
for
automotive model builders, Faux Fabrix is perfect for replicating
textured
clothing on figurines too or anywhere a cloth-like surface is
needed.
No longer do you need to hassle with surface painting, white glue
and messy
flocking. Faux Fabrix is a one-step process. All that is needed is a
clean
dry surface and two or three mist coats. Faux Fabrix lays down a
beautiful,
in-scale textured surface for all those areas that require a real
fabric
appearance or three dimensional texture.
Available in 5oz. spray cans with a color dot on the cap displaying
the
actual color and texture of the paint. Each can will cover over 1100
square
inches! The first two colors in the line are Buff Beige sku#: 5500
and Velvet
Gray sku#: 5510. Retail price is $6.95 per can. Dealers and
Distributors
purchase in full case quantities only, 12 cans per case. Ships only
UPS
within the Continental United States.
All colors are in stock now and we are ready to ship! All reserved
orders
placed by customers previously will ship first starting this week.
Faux
Fabrix will not appear on our website until November 1.
