s13 dash wrap-up

[s0loWkooPi]

So I'm thinking of by-passing the whole search for a "non-cracked dash" and decided to wrap my dash up. The question is: what material do I use? Glue? Has anybody ever tried this before on here besides secrets2k? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

 

[McNasty]

yup. pillow fabric. sup.

 

[s0loWkooPi]

lol that's crazy but I likes. What glue did you use? Heat gun?

 

[Vas]

yeah, is there a write up on this? i want to wrap my dash with some crazy shit

 

[s0loWkooPi]

been googling it but nothing yet^

 

[McNasty]

i used 3m all purpose spray glue it holds up well if you clean surface right and use right material. i didn't use a heat gun i just sprayed and stuck the shit on, if you get a stretchy material unlike me it wont be hard but i had the least stretchable shit.

What did you use to clean it? Would headliner glue be perfect for this?

 

[McNasty]

i just used a all purpose lysol cleaner on the dash i think let it dry and the door panels i think i used the same. dont use anything that leave a residue. i have never used headliner glue.

OMG

 

[edrift305]

to do this the dash has to be free or cracks correct?or one can go just slapping on the fabric over the cracks?sorry if its a newb questions

 

[McNasty]

the only reason i would wrap a dash is to cover up cracks. if i had a crack-less dash i dont think i would tarnish it with fabric.

I think flocking is a much better alternative than wrapping your dash.

flocking is also much harder then it seams, if your dash is cracked flocking it will show it. plus i dont think they make leopard flock stuff, but i could be wrong.

 

[DrtyRat]

Yeah, I never look at something like this and say it will be easy, but I think they cover alot of the basics. As far as the cracks showing, I believe that it says that you have to take the crack out and essentially bondo(for lack of a better term) it and sand it smooth or else the imperfections will show. As far as the leopard flock goes, I pray to God they don't make it! LOL

[crayZwhiteboy]

Clean it. Spray glue. Lay fabric.

you can have your dash re-wrapped to look stock, it cost me $110 to do mine.
