Re: [DML] Refinishing the Binnacle

[Louie G <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with you David, dash mats just aren't an option for a cracked dash. My father had some sort of a resin filler material that I almost tried on my car when I redyed my binnacle last year. But alas I chickened out. In theory you could use the filler to fill in the cracks, and then spray on the proper code of dye and have a decent looking fix. My biggest concern was the new resin expanding and contracting in temperatures differently than the binnacle itself. I might try it the next time I go to my parents house since my binnacle really can't be harmed much more than it is. I'll post my findings to the list if I give it a try. Also, as of last year DMC-Texas was trying to get the binnacles remade and sell them for $200... but I've heard no word since on whether or not this will come to fruition.

I would like the list's suggestions on how everyone is fixing up their
binnacle. On the car I recently bought the binnacle is all cracked up
and faded. I called Just Dashes and they want $400 to redo it (and
right now the wait is 10-12 weeks!). Does anyone have a better idea?
Don't suggest a dash cover.
