Peel a dashboard?

Has anone ever taken the vinyl covering off of the dashboard? I haven't really had the chance to look at too much of it, but it appears that the covering can actualy be removed and probably reapplied once done as well...any thoughts?

youll never find vinil as soft and plyable as the stuff on there now. the result is that it will bunch up in certain places and not let your trim pieces go back in. whats up with your dash????????????

that would depend on the price! If you need some leather though, let me know how much and what color and i'll see what i can find!

why dont you just glue the leather onto the old vinyl. start from the center and work you way out towards the edges. you can use the upholestry glue from the auto parts store.

I thought about it, hell might still do it, but it
's not as easy as that, you have to trim and tuck the edges, cust around the vents without making a single mistake otherwise it will look like crap, and the dash has been subjected to some serious summer heat in texas, so actually it is not quite as smooth and even as i want, i'm looking at just getting a black bash to put in it, and holdin onto the leather to cover something else. As for paining the dash, Ricardo, friend of mine used products from SEM and they worked inceribly well for him, you might check them out.
