our stock dash is vinyl. and i would suggest having it professionally done cuz of all the curves of it, and if it isnt done right, it will wrinkle an look like s%$#.

I have done it a couple times before when i do custom interiors.....the main thing you want to watch out for is the type of backing that is on the vinyl you are attaching.

reason i say that is cause there are some with a elastic mesh type (and fyi, those are near impossible to stick correctly for a long period of time), and then there are some with a cotton type backing (and these eat the glue perfectly, and stick right into place).

you also want to make sure the piece you are starting with is easil big enough......i try to make sure they wrap to the underside of the top dash at least 6-9 inches.

most any spray glue type adhesive will work fine.....just use a ton of that stuff.....cause a slight mist will not hold.




speed costs money, i have little money, so i have little speed. Donations are appreciated =)

ive decided to wrap instead of paint my upper dash. when you wrap in vinyl or whatever do you wrap over the factory vinyl or remove it?

you don't really need to wrap it if all you want is a color change....

mine is dyed with Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric dye.

take extra care during surface prep tho.
