That fuzzy stuff is called FLOCKING, call around to a few hobby supply
stores and even try wholesalers of hobby suppliers.

Just sand off the old stuff and scrub away any grease or sufrace dust
that would impair adhesion of the new flocking, the flocking is powdered
wool or similar material and needs to be puffed on with a special
applicator if you want a nice job.

If you goof, don't touch the flocking before it dries. Sand and re-apply
after the adhesive has dried, it won't show.

You'll find that this is expensive!

You might consider textured paint that you can get from a Professional
Auto Paint Supplier, it comes in manu colors and you can just spray it on
with 50 PSI from a home compressor with a cheap spray gun. It gives you
about the same texture that your outside pop-up has.
