Dash Refinishing

Earlsfat · #1 03-20-2006, 12:49 PM

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..

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.

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.

Earlsfat · #11 03-23-2006, 02:58 PM

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.

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.

(Honestly though, what do you do??)
