Has anyone repaired a cracked dash pad? I have a small crack running from the top down around the driver vent port on my 69 442. I was thinking of using a filler and then spraying the entire dash pad with a satin black sealer.

Thanks

I can't comment on the crack, but for the satin black I would go with SEM landau black. It's the correct color and it's made to go over plastics vinyls and even carpet. It's about $12 a can at you local auto body supply store.

Google Dash Crack Repair. There is some good info on this. I doubt it could be done so that it is not somewhat noticeable but there seem to be some solutions to the problem!

Easy solution, a bunch$$$$$$ and call Just Dashes. Beautiful work, but you pay.

Mike,

I was looking at their services but have no idea what the cost is. Do you have any estimates? The finished product is great though

I just got a quote from them and it was slightly under 1,000.

So I cleaned my dash up with POR marine clean, Dawn Dishsoap, SEM Soap, SEM Vinyl and Plastic Prep then put several light coats of SEM Classic Coat. Came out great. Give it a try.

I worked in a car dealership for many years in the used car dept. We had repair venders for all different things, one being interior touchup and repair. You might ask the used car mgr at one of your local dealerships who they use to touchup theirs. I assure you they can work miracles for cheap.

I agree with Oldcutlass,there's usually someone that repairs vinyl that check by car dealers weekly ,I'm sure there should be some that are reliable in the Houston area. Larry

I had a few small cracks repaired and the pad cleaned and dyed for $150 by a local vinyl repair guy. Ask at auto upholstery shops if used car dealers can't help.
