Dash Refinishing

Does anyone know of a decent company that does dash refinishing services that does a decent job? I've got a cap on mine, underneath is UGLY... cracks, faded, etc...

And what are reasonable prices for this getting this done?

I'd look into buying another one, Jim. I think they go for around 150ish, I am pretty sure that they cant be refinished..

id just buy a repo from classic industries or year one

hmmm... Some of the cars I see for sale have "refinished" dashed boards that look better than new. Nice texture, etc. The company was "just dashes" or something but I can't seem to find it.... and was like $75 or so to have a whole dash done.

Oh well... I guess I gotta kiss someones ass to try and find a new 70 dash... NOT EASY, neither are the consoles or steering wheels.

Look around Year One.. I remember looking at em.

I found some websites for refinishing wood dashboards :icon16:

Is this what your looking for?

not sure how you are supposed to choose your color though.

Well.. sorta. First off I have a problem buying a red dash and then painting it black, especially for $300 and then another $20-$50 for the primer and paint.

But yeah... Year One, Classic Industries all have them.. in red. WTF??? That's damn girly color first off, and looks incredibly shitty after a while.

I found a couple of places that sell refinishing kits for like $100.... I might try that if I can't find a company to do it for me. Has the crack filler, texture paint, primer and final color.... might be worth a try for $100.

Has the crack filler, .


Heh, ehe, heh... you said crack filler.

lol he said crack filler

heh... yeah and with the size of the cracks I'm looking at... it's gonna take an awfully big filler... but I'm feeling up to the job.:cwm27:

You do realize that if you take my "crack filler" I'm going to have to punch you in the mouth don't you??? :rofl:

Bring it on :thumbsup: :nutkick: :flipa: :chair:

Not every day you're told you're gonna get laid off, but don' tknow when, I'm feeling friskie.

Bring it on :thumbsup: :nutkick: :flipa: :chair:

ummmm..... you grab my "crack filler" and you HAVE a "crack filler" you gonna get a busted mush. :slap: You grab my crackfiller and have a crack that needs filled.... you get dinner, drinks, a back rub, and the best 2 minutes you could ever imagine. :boink:


Not every day you're told you're gonna get laid off, but don' tknow when

Dylan, sorry to hear it, that REALLY sucks. I would make sure that your last day you take the biggest dump of your life in the company facilities, but just before you do... put about 15 paper towels in the toilet... plug it up real good. Leave your lunch floating on top. :thumbsup: :sadwavey:
(Honestly though, what do you do??)


I'm feeling friskie.

I'm going to call your old lady and tell to to be prepared for you.... :cheers: :boink:

Eh, well thanks Jim. I knew it was coming eventually, I've seen an outsourcing of the department coming for about 2 years.

I just didn't need the confirmation of it now. Wife's mom is battling brain cancer, again. And as of last night her dad is back in for heart monitoring. So after seeing her parents health go down we refinanaced our house from a 30 year to 10 year mortgage so that if she has to take care of one or the other, we wouldn't have to worry aoubt 'cause the house is paid for. Which of course means higher payments.

I don't know, I'm being told they'll find something else, but who knows. What do I do, hmm, what do I do? I am a Sr. pension analyst. Although it's intertwound with the payroll department were I started at in the company. I'm really more of tech liason between both departments and IS, and accounting, the actuaries, the fudiciaries and the Feds. Really funny part is the outsoursing will go to Fidelity, who just so happened to have a laptop stolen with a companies employees pension and 401(k) info on it. Good choice guys :thumbsup:

wow, just wow...

ahh man, good luck...i don't know what to say

...i don't know what to say

Not to worry, i didn't either. So i went home and drank, still couldn't come up with anything. So now that I've recovered from yesterday, I have a whole weekend to do it over and over again :cheers:

understandable

heh... if you find the right rythym (sp?--- yeah yeah yeah dumbass I know) and the right mixture of hard liquor in with the beer you can select the correct brain cells to kill in order to forget the whole horrbile experience of working for those a'holes.

sounds like a plan

bring on the everclear!! that'll pretty much kill anything

you can select the correct brain cells to kill .

S.o.l. on that one. Ever since high school, I've been down to 3, 2 are fighting for control and the third is just chill'n in the corner with beer and doob. :smokin:
