It's neat if ur on a budget but I'd go nuts looking at the cobled dashboard lol
At some point ya just gotta get a new dash
No f's given "repairing" your dash. G-d damn boy.
That stuff breaks easily because the manufacturers used the cheapest plastic in these vehicles. Probably the same same as used in toys.
Chevy motors last forever their dashes only last 10yrs.
I like this
What a mess,,, wrong way to do it
Fill the cracks with spray foam insulation
Definitely not trying to be a hater, but that is not a finished product. You should have pulled the dash, added 2 additional layers of glass, rondo, sanded, primed, guide coat, prime again, paint, texture, and finally clearcoat. Good start though.
What steps would you have to take after this to fiberglass and paint
I did something like this to a camper with a cracked up abs plastic front, used fiberglass cloth but didn’t use fiberglass resin, I heard it doesn’t flex and can lift back up, I used abs plumbing pipe cement, it chemically bonds with the plastic then stays flexible for heat cycles and body movement. Now I’m fixing to do the dash in my 98 Chevy 2500. Did you find a way to repair the broken area where the gauge cluster bezel is supposed to snap on? Mine all the tabs are broken off and missing.
Any update.?
Neat. I would have probably got a new dash but removal and installation would have been too much work. Also, aren't the products you used rather toxic? Did you use a mask and gloves?
put some rondo on it to smooth it out
