Problem you will run into today is the original flocking was a fairly coarse and long stranded blend of different colors of rayon fiber. One color was predominant in the blend to give it an overall color but opinions vary as to if it was more a gray shade or brown shade or if they had both and it varied by year or model. If you have enough of the original left in clean good enough condition to get a sense of correct color for your car you are in better shape than many.
There are only a couple of places today that carry flocking material for retail and their offerings are a very small and fine rayon fiber or a slightly longer and coarser nylon fiber. Neither is anywhere close to correct in duplicating the original coarse fiber. When I did my 47 I went with the slightly larger nylon fiber from
Flock It in a brown that appeared as close as possible to what I found in a few halfway protected spots. Not entirely correct because it is a much smaller one color fiber and the finish is smoother -- but it is passable.
Flock It may still offer to custom blend a color in their fibers but at the time I did mine the quantity I had to order was enough to start a production line. Applying is a process to get a smooth blending because it is messy and the glue dries fairly quickly. I think someone - maybe it was Ross - might have been halfway joking when he said the easiest way to apply the stuff was to spray glue all over, set an oscillating electric fan in the middle and turn it on high while you empty the flocking bag on top of the fan and then jump back and slam the lid. I did not follow that procedure so it was not quite that messy when I did mine but it came close.
