Dash Vinyl

Can the front dash vynil be removed and then reupholstered with another color?? I was looking at it, it looks like the vynil can be pulled off.:licka:

the only thing i have to add to this thread is this:

VINYL is the word you were looking for....

Honestly, get some fabric and vinyl dye, or just reupholster as it is. There is no need to remove the stock stuff.

...or just leave it alone

...or just leave it alone

Thats the route i wanted to go, but my new 03 dash is freaking tan. Yuck, so i have to color mine.... damn it all!

Or you can take the dash out and paint it? that would be alot easier that reupholstering it?

Dupli-Color Fabric and Vinyl Paint is the easiest way..

or you can sand, primer, sand, primer, sand, primer... until the texture goes away and the primer fills in all the cracks so it will look smooth and fiberglassed...

i just sanded mine down from the vinyl 1st cuz i still wanted some of the texture but not all of it then primed and painted it with dupli-color. Next im working on my doors. Has ne1 ever tried using the paint for carpets? i wanna know if it actually works ive never used it and i dont want to if its gunna turn the little bit of fabric on my doors all hard

Cody why don't you just go to a junk yard or ebay and buy a grey dash pad?

^ WRONG. DO NOT do that to vinyl.

I really don't want to paint it, Iv'e read that alot of people who did that it bubbled afterwards or fades. I already have all the supplies that I need to reupholster the dash. I just want to know If it can be done or not. And If so, will the old vynil need to be removed or can it just be applied over the current vynil dash. Just let me know, I really appreciate all your help.

If you use Vinyl and Fabric paint on that rubbery dash piece, it will work fine, just spray it on, lots of clearcoat and have people keeptheir hands off it when its back in and it should be fine, mine has never bubbled or chipped, those people who say it has, didn't use vinyl paint.
