I re-finished my dash last week, with some annoying results. I cut out all the cracked spots, and the factory speaker openings, filling them with great stuff, with intentions on using bedliner spray on it. I work at an auto/truck accessories shop where we do spray in liners. Before we sprayed it, I put aluminum duct tape over the repaired spots. Well, here's the advice part. The spray comes out at 170 degrees. Great stuff ain't so great at that temperature. I now have a virtually indestructible, lumpy dash. Looks better than it did, but not sweet. Now I'm gonna have to grind it down smooth and re-spray it. Oh well, learned something new.

 

I think it would probably be a lot less time consuming to just purchase a replacement.

 

Thats actually a really good idea. I'm going to have to try it with my torn up original dashpad sometime, maybe put in a spot for a iPod as a HUD.

Good luck redoing it!

 

Maybe, but If I bought every part it needed it would be cheaper to buy a nice car, plus I wouldn't learn anything.

 

I hear ya,ain't that the truth!!!

 

It adds a little glare since it's shiny, but it'll never crack again. And it's paintable so I may go semi-gloss black

 

Still haven't re shot it

 

Great stuff uses a chemical reaction to create heat to make it expand, thats your problem. In all honesty you would have been better off epoxying a piece of wood or plastic in and building it up with fiberglass or polyester. Both of the products you used are heat reacting solvent based. Also when the great stuff heats up in the sun it will only continue to get worse.

 

Lasting pretty good. With 3/16 inch of bedliner on it, don;t think it's gonna flex
