Coverlay dash cover. Anyone use?

[OCMike]

Trying to find a way to fix my cracked dashboard. I came across this company and wondered if anyone has used their product? Seems like a pretty easy way to fix the cracked dash. They have 3 different shades of gray though and I don't know which shade will match my gray.

87-94 Toyota Truck and 4Runner 11-794

Really? I need a grey one, yo.

 

[Bad_Vision]

you know me im all about the parts train.
kid you need a 1st gen one right? drivers or passengers side?

 

[KidVermicious]

First gen passenger side. You can't find them around here without cracks, so if you stumble across one that'd be awesome.

I could use a tan one for a 2nd generation. Mines all cracked up. I would appreciate it if you came across one. Front arm rests as well. :guitar3:

Thanks a ton.

Plus 2 on that Tan/Oak dash cover for a 2nd gen, been looking for 6 mos and haven't come across one yet.

Look what you got yourself into, Bad. LOL If you come across a gray dash cover, and the price is right, I may take it. Or maybe I'll meet you at the salvage yard next time I'm visiting my parents in Cedar Springs.

Keep me in mind for a 1st Gen Pass side Grey as well please. Maybe Kid could grab mine when he gets his and then I could grab it from him in OCT on the Moab trip.

Kid would this work for you?

Check out my build thread. I fixed my dash pad and it came out well with the exception of a bad color match.

Just an idea

Eh? BV is in Michigan, if he finds one for me I'm going to have to pay him for shipping.

Looks good. I might just have to look into that option also.

If you do I would approach a tad bit different. After you smooth and fill in the cracks, coat the whole thing in some resin. Dilute the resin with a little bit of acetone. I normally use about one tsp or acetone per ounce of resin. That helps with the soak through and it also extends the pot life of the resin a little bit. After you coat the whole thing in resin, lay some grill cloth (real thin stretchy material) over the whole dash pad. This will add a new layer of skin that won't crack. Then lightly sand and add texture and dye.

My method that I used in my build thread was a band aid fix. It will crack again eventually and then I'll do what I suggested above.

Oops. Didn't even notice that. That's OK though. I'll let you pay to have mine shipped to you as well.


:lmao:

SV_dude has the right idea fixing is easy you can even strip all the vynal off and do a fiberglass dash!!!

But i will keep my eyes open for dashes!

 

[KBJ]

Much appreciated!
