Cracks in padded dashboard

[Kaboosie]

Anybody on here repaired cracks on a padded dash or recovered one? After some advice please.

I just replaced mine for a new one, think I got it from custom commercial, I had to paint it black though as it was dark grey.

I know you can buy new ones mate but that wouldn't be padded. I like the look of the padded type more than the steel

When you say padded part. Do you mean this part?

We had it recovered in vinyl. Whatever you do don't remove the cracked covering as it makes it a nightmare to stick new material on.

Yes that and the main part with the clocks, glovebox ect.

Did you DIY and was it a hard job to do?

I've seen those bits, the padded dash top, recovered in some buses to match the interior, looks very cool, but also looks like a pro only job. The part from C&C is the same part, but a Brazilian item that seems to be a grey colour. I had the same and also painted mine black, it's also available if you want as i found a good second hand one.
