well, my dash was pretty crack up and instead of buying a new dash i went ahead and repaired the cracks myself. Then I got to thinking since the exterior was kind of tough and rugged looking that I would make the interior match. So i went ahead and sprayed the dash with spray on bed liner.

dash installed and everything almost back together
and i went ahead and moved my gauges and made a plate for my safc.

Re: (wantz87)
Wow that's great! Can you make like a mini write-up. i.e. prepwork and which bed liner you used, # of coats. Thanks.
Re: (esahuque)
looks great man! I had a dash I want to customize for my coupe. Thanks for the bed liner idea!
Re: line-x dash
How did you fix the cracks? How did you prep the dash?
Re: line-x dash (Aven)
Sorry guys, i forgot about this thread.
to repair the cracks i used baking powder and super glue, and to prep the dash after repair i used a high grit sand paper to rough up the surface and then used mineral spirit to clean the dash. then used 2 cans of spray in bed liner that i got from autozone.

Re: line-x dash (esahuque)
I was coming into this like, what an idiot, but that looks VERY good. Props
Re: line-x dash (n240sxfnatic)
the only draw back i can see is, wiping it down .. do you get any streaks from the texture being so ruff?
Re: line-x dash (esahuque)
Can u tell me how u used the superglue and baking powder... i have many cracks on my dash in my hatch and was just about to buy another one. But I LOVE how this looks. Im just a little clueless how u did the repair. Thanks.
Re: line-x dash (esahuque)
Does it leave any bad odors in the car after sitting in the sun?
