I have a cracked dash in my car and was wondering if i cut some of the vinyl away if this would work to repair my dash and if its paintable?

The product expands 3 times in volume. It can be sanded and painted once set completely. The surface is not perfectly smooth and has tiny air bubble depressions. It would be a good filler but would need a topping to be smooth. Secondly it is very very adhesive you would only get one chance. It could make a royal mess of your dash if not done perfectly the firts time. Not sure I would try it.

It is paintable, although I think it would be overkill to repair a crack in the dash. It expands quite a bit when it activates and the amount to fill a crack would be very small.

U cant put on the metal part of car.any vinyl trim plastic or rubber.can be used on dash leather.just no painted surfaces.

Assuming that the paint chips are very small or minor, this should adhere just fine and cover them up. They should not be noticeable. I would not recommend this for any external car wrapping though, just because it's very textured like real carbon fiber, and it will get dirty easily. This textured wrap is a lot better for interior trim pieces in my opinion.

If your car is older and has a lackluster finish. You can use it all over to restore the paint. It removes all the little scratches and swirl marks and oxidation, etc.... I wouldn't use it a whole lot though. Use regular wax almost every time. A car needs to be waxed regularly to protect the paint from rain, etc....

I think it is paintable. I know its primary use is in auto repair so I think it is paintable.

It's possible. I used it on the convertible top on my Miata and it has held up. On your cushion you;ll have to understand that the repair won't be pretty - this stuff is glossy. You, I assume have a hole worn through or maybe a crease from where the cushion has been sat on. I would try this for sure on it but try to make sure the cushion is somewhere that will get less use than it currently does. That is to say if it is on one side of the sofa that always has someone sitting and the other side gets less use then swap cushions from side to side just as a safety measure. Good Luck.

The dashboard could be damaged if it is not hard plastic dashboard. I've never encountered that problem and I really like the product, it does exactly what it says. Hope that helps.

I'll be honest... I haven't tried it yet... I would tell you that if the scratches are down to the primer, you're not going to get them out with compound. There is no paint to polish in that case. There are numerous repair specialists who can repair minor stuff like that for a couple hundred dollars (like fixing rock nicks in your bumper) in your driveway. Hope this helps

Mine wouldn't stick for anything either... After I left it in the car for a couple of weeks, it stuck just fine. Maybe the glue started to cure or something because now it's stuck good. Won't budge. Also, make sure your dash isn't freshly cleaned - if it's too clean, it won't stick.

to be honest, depending on what your bumper surface is like, you'll probably have fair to poor results, this stuff worked wonders when I used it to apply stickers to my windshield (ex. parking stickers) with static and no adhesive (I hate the idea of that residue being there permanently when that sticker expires), but the bumper isn't like glass so I think with that application wouldn't be the best choice

You could probably do it but parts are fragile and you stand a good chance doing damage. A good paint store may have a type of paint that would adhere to existing finish. I'd try that first

Doesn't really look like it. Just buy Armor All Trim and Plastic Restorer. Restores plastic, vinyl, and rubber trim. Helps prevent fading, discoloration and oxidation. Helps prevent damage caused by UV Rays. With a detailer or wax, applicator, and Microfiber towel, you should be set. Or buy the complete kit, some should work. I once detailed our show car with our Armor All vinyl protectant by mistake and it really looked good. Won best of show. Hope this helped.

I assume that you're wanting to use this on a temporary basis to protected the headliner while you're doing interior work or something. If you're planning on a permanent install, it won't be the most attractive product. But, you should be ok with this as a temporary protectant. It's pretty sticky but shouldn't damage vinyl headliners. On the mouse-fur or velour type headliners, don't press it on too hard and you should still be ok. When you remove it, you'll probably have fibers attached to the sticky but it shouldn't pull it bald. You might also consider using Glad Cling Wrap from your local grocery store. It's similar but thinner. Might be easier to just remove the trim and take the headliner out. Good luck.

I have a colleague that used it on his car and it sat too long and removed the paint. If you use it, I would wipe it down and wash it with soap and water soon after it is applied. It may have been a fluke but thought I would share their experience.

I think you could -- it is plastic and has a slight texture, so a can of spray paint designed to adhere to plastic -- Krylon and Rustoleum sell them at Lowes and HD -- should work. If it chips or scratches, the texture would make repair easy

You won't be able to just pry it off, without risking damage to your dash. It can and I did remove one with adhesive remover. Work it around the edges with q-tip. A real light oil will work also.

Hi,It might work, but I don't know what it will do to the car's finish. A water-soluble paint thinner is probably a better answer. Sap can harden to the point where it can scratch the finish if you remove it early. Let it soften, then wipe it off with a soft cloth. You'll want to wax the car afterwards to protect the finish as the solvents will eat the wax that was there.
