Hi Dan. I stumbled across this searching for techniques to reskin a dashboard. First off - great job. You made it look easy. I wanted to share my 2¢ since I've done this project using real leather. If you're viewing this video looking to do this project, consider doing the following: 1. Remove the dashboard from the car. You won't have to deal with the tight quarters or the windshield and you certainly won't be huffing contact cement fumes. This allows you to work from angles not available in the car and it's sometimes helpful to get access underneath. 2. Use an automotive grade contact cement. The regular stuff you buy at the hardware store will not hold under a hot summer sun. Ask me how I know this. 3. Work slowly and methodically. Cousin Dan gives a lot of good advice about planning ahead in this video. When you're cutting material away, be absolutely sure you have enough left to cover the area desired. This is especially important around compound curves and where trim meets your covering material. Bunching your material will make the trim stand out when you reinstall them. In a few areas, I actually trimmed away some of the dashboard with a rotary tool to accommodate the thickness added by the skin.

@@ihazzit5201 Wow, reviews of that cement are great. Thank you! What types of vinyl and leather do you advice for a dash?
@ihazzit52017 ай бұрын
I would advise to research as much as possible to make that decision. There are too many considerations. UV ratings, leather grades, vinyl stretching properties. The old dash's material - can it be covered or need a complete tear out? Is the original dash able to recovered? Are there condensation issues? Climate issues? A 4 way stretch marine grade vinyl (Apollo or Sierra perhaps) may work well but you have to remove the entire dash because it's hard to work with but has great longevity. There are many sites, such as oemautofabric, midwestfabrics, yourautotrim, probably a hundred others that have about any material you need. Also, I think it was mentioned in the video, but clean that old dash and when you think you have it perfectly cleaned, clean it some more. It cannot be stated enough - any little spot missed will not take and will bubble and become undone in the summer. @@taz24787
@sahai322 Жыл бұрын
Some things I learned doing research after watching the video: Use heavy duty and high-temp adhesive (like 3M - vinyl and rubber 80), and use a material that'll hold up to UV rays, heat, and dings/scratches (like marine vinyl). Will be attempting my own recover soon

I watch alot of videos on the tube for different ideas. I'm a fiberglass man myself and did my dash full custom. I was cruising along and found your video, gave it a shot. GOOD JOB. whether or not your methods will last a long time or fail the first summer, is anyone's guess. My kudos goes out to the professional way you carry yourself and complete your edit. I wish you could have done a nice before and after split screen still at the end. the way you formed your vinyl was very slick. I know guys that can't beat the wrinkles no matter what....And we're all in our 40's!!! keep up the good work. .......side note: I'm agnostic but even I appreciate the awesome positive response you gave to the biblical reference troll bullet shot at you.

Fantastic job Daniel! Would like to know how it's holding up though. It looks like you used regular vinyl fabric. I imagine it may have already started cracking by now. For me, I'd go with marine vinyl, as this is much easier to work with, more durable and holds up to the extreme heat. It's more expensive, but well worth the cost, as it will last much longer than regular vinyl.

Great job! I've recovered the roof liner in my '88 Volvo which had all come unstuck and falling to shreds. Bought some vinyl, however, carefully stripped off the backing by soaking it inch by inch with lacquer thinner (in a well-ventilated area). Didn't think to use a heat gun. Then used "ModPodge" craft glue, as I thought that contact cement would be too "unforgiving" when stuck to the "papier mache" base panel. Now am lookiing for a dark vinyl simulated dash cover for my Caliber - just because it is too pale and reflects into the wind shield. All I've seen on the market are carpet, fake suede and heavily textured "dashtex", which all seem too high maintenance dirt catchers. Looks like I'll just have to visit Jo-Ann, or maybe use some of that vinyl shrink stuff

Likely no, because of the fact it is a 20+ year old car. If it has sat in the sun enough for the surface to crack, chances are the plastic is cracked too and easy to crack. I recently removed and replaces an FC RX-7 dash and now I'll have to remake it (no longer available). Not to mention, taking dashes out of 2 door coupes sucks because of lack of space.

DUDE, this is Excellent. -I've also been looking for something along these lines (with the exact same vinyl /leather ) to cover the front baffles of a Tower speaker system. -I could never find any info on if a heat gun would work for the contours (and also the driver gaskets) allowing the speaker driver to 'Seat' the surrounding material and also provide most of the sealing gasket material. This was Brilliant! -I have also been using the thinner, black-out vinyl for my motorcycle's windscreen, tail light and turn signals, getting some practice in. -but the front section of this loudspeaker project is key to get right and this vid helped a lot. Thank you! . -Your bit at 6:05 to 6:20 is exactly how I intend to use this material (only for speaker drivers ;) (Truly great job on your ride as well , man. Anyway, Many thanks.. Cheers!

Thanks, it's always great to help out a fellow watercooler! No, I used the same contact adhesive all the way across. All the best!

Great Job. I just stripped my 944 dash today. Hope mine looks as good as yours when I'm done.

Top notch job, sir! My 2002 Trans Am dash just started cracking today. In a panicked Google search I found this video. Looks like I'll be tackling this soon! Thanks for posting.

You have so much patience, I would just have sprayed the top of the dash matt black and be done with it.
