HELP! Messed up my dashboard surface!

I was taking off my old PA inspection stickers and used sticker remover which in turn removed some of the black coating on my dashboard. What can I do to fix this?!

 

Looking for something a little better than a sharpie...

 

Try model airplane paint.

 

Do they make a specific spray paint or paint for a dash?

Thank you! Do you think I need to take off the dash?

Well to answer your question you don't really need to take it off to spray it just cover everything and anything. Your best bet is to take it off to spray. It'll most likely be easier.

 

Looks pretty screwed to me... buy a new truck. This one is totaled.

 

There are several paints designed for vinyl. Perhaps one of those vinyl upholstery dyes would work.

In the future, a new straight edge razor blade will take those stickers and adhesive off the glass.

 

I agree, I would just buy a new truck. I bought the truck I have now because my Scion was dirty.

 

If you take the dash apart....have it coverd in black swede, or a thin black leather. D.I.Y or have it proffesionaly done....on the forward edges have it double stiched, so will look professional, factory. Not an expensive project....good luck, on your discision.

 

Black KIWI shoe polish.

 

Ta-daa ... it sounds so simple it may just work ... start inexpensive and go from there.

 

If all else fails...

 

I like the carpet idea; it reminds me of a POS Dodge with their breaking dashes.

 

What jdmcq said about dye. When I had my Toyota celica I was on celica forum, and everyone like me with the early 7gen celicas had a greyish dash and the newer 7gens had a black dash, and the black dash looked way better. So people were taking their dash's and dying them. Google dash dye, or interior dash dye, should be able to come up with something. Good luck.

 

That's a coating?

Holy shit! And here I bought 3 yards of grey leather and was planning on pulling the dash and covering it!

 

Why not spray the dash with bed liner? It will be tough, weather/sun resistant, and will look bad ass! If you tape the dash off correctly you won't even have to take it out.
