i have been wanting to make my dashboard into fiberglass or to wrap it in some sort of vinyl or something just wondering who can tell me how to do it
search its all over the place. searching is your friend. imo if you dont know how to glass dont start on such a big piece like your dash. you have to rip the covering off, drill alot of tiny holes all over the place so the resin will seep through and fully cure to the plastic and then its alot of sanding to get it smooth
yeah, im with him, knowin all that ure getting in to on the first time, id start with somethin small first.... then once u know what ure doin and u have the time, get ta work on that dash.
but wrappin it in vinyl... arent the cav and fire dashes already wrapped?
My Cav dash is wrapped . . . and its stock.
IMO, the dash is a big project. If you mess it up, you have to buy a new one or try to work with it. If you happen to get into an accident with the dash being fiberglass, I'm sure it'll shatter and blast all over the place if the impact is hard enough. Also, if you don't glass it right or measure things up, the vents, bezel, etc fitment will be off. I personally wouldn't touch the dash, unless you have more expieriance and know how things will come out using your technique.

That is soo true. There are many things that can be off fitment wise with the dash. I would definatly recommend doin several other projects before doing the dash. And having an extra one would be a good idea.

all the dashes come wrapped but in order to make the glass stick good, its ideal to peel it off and start from there. like said though, make sure when you glass its back to the same shape as before or else it wont fit with the bezel or door panels
