In Reply to: DASH PAD FOUND...YAHOO!!!! posted by Ron S. on October 02, 1998 at 23:31:37:
: YEEHAAA! I found an unmolested, uncracked, slightly faded Tan dash pad today while "treasure hunting" (for my truck, no less) at the "mall". Thanks to all of you that sent sugesstions and sources for one.
: Now my next question, who has used those dye kits and what's your opnion on them (ease of use, quality of coloring, endurance,etc.) I know we've touched on this previously, feel free to e-mail me if you want to give me all the "details" of the job.
: Oh yeah, almost forgot...it was only $6.55 (I've got the receipt to prove it!) Maybe there IS a Santa Claus after all ;-)
Great find! As far as "DYE KITS" I don't recommend them,unless the item is small like a arm rest. They tend to dye uneven and leave streaks. You best bet is "PLASTI-KOTE" ULTRA VINYL COLOR,it's a 12oz spray can and cost about the same price as you paid for the dash pad.This stuff works great! won't rub off or flake.If you use this product be sure and let us know how it turns out,good or bad,if it turns out bad you can blame me. But I have confidence that it will not only turn out good,but great!
good luck
