Dashboard?

[Brads94]

Does anybody have any old tricks of the trade for painting/refreshing a dashboard? It's a 94 YJ and there are no cracks but it just looks bad. I have it out and stripped down but not sure if I want to paint it, fiberglass it, or was thinking of water printing it with some cool designs. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated!

The little strip on the vent has popped up on mine so I'm hoping someone answers this!

There are several plastic spray paints available out there in the market you can use with the choosing of the color you desire. Just like anything else that needs to be painted, prepping the surface is sometimes more critical than the paint itself and likewise with waterprinting and fiberglassing surfaces. Fiberglass can prove to be a really cool thing to play with granted that you know how to properly mix the resin with the hardener and laying the fiberglass on the surface without distortion from the surface. You can do a lot more with fiberglass like incorporating a gauge pod or a switch pod or maybe even a tray on the dashboard if you make the mold for it to take shape. You can also make speaker pods out of it as well. It's lightweight and can handle quite a bit of abuse from impacts as my Dodge dakota has proven on parking lot bumpers.
