Wrapping dash in vinyl

Ok so i have decided to wrap most of the plastic dash piece by pice in black vinyl. I already have the dashpad sanded and ready for recover and have done the stereo faceplate. I will post more pics as the pieces get finished.



After sanding and wiping it off the white in the center is the repaired part. Just need to wrap it but am considering using thin foam under the vinyl for a custom look.





Before after supergluing where it broke right side.





After i was done and yes it fits Perfect !
