My dash needs to be re-done and I'm not sure what type of pattern the vinyl is for my 85. Does anyone know what pattern of grain was used.

Thanks

 

Generally you can't just "redo" the dash; it's made of plastic, and once the plastic starts cracking, there's no turning back. Sure, you can fill the cracks and dye it, but they'll come back along with many others in little time.

Best bet is to get a used dash that has no cracks from the for sale forums here, or just put an aftermarket cap on yours if you're not terribly worried about fit/finish/being correct.

 

Rip all of the existing material off and fill any holes or low areas with expanding foam from a can and sand it smooth. Then take it to an upholstery shop and have them recover it. That's the easiest and cheapest way to make it look good

 

I got mine from the local junk yard and it only costed me 25 bucks its like new too.

 

Guys I understand what your saying, but I still haven't gotten an answer to my actual question.

Does anyone know what style of grain is used on the vinyl or where I can find that information?

I haven't used them but when I get into my restoration I plan on it.

 

Thank you for the link. It had the information that I was looking for.

If any of you would like to know it is haircell grain.

 

What do you plan to do with the info? I mean, even the places that reman these cant make them in the correct grain.
