I'm struggling to fix my black dash surround - esp the top left corner which is now several superglued fragments.

Any tips for getting it to look slightly OEM!?!

Has anyone used a filler, then sanded the whole thing down and then sprayed it with a topcoat that looks like the original? If so what paint did you use? Thanks

You could have it wrapped in vinyl.

So long as you fix the plastic and smooth it out a good wrapper should be able to apply some black vinyl to it. they do it for people looking for the carbon fibre look.

Ive just been watching youtube videos on that- think I would have to find the mattest of black finishes though - plasticote might be another good shout?

Hope your doing ok!

If its the same problem i had, this is the link to my solution, i did this in april 2016 and it still looks as good today.

Best part is nobody seems to think it isn't part of the original dash surround.....

Ah yes, I remember you posting that at the time, I'll keep you posted on how I get on with flexible filler & plasticote - if it all goes south I'll probably use a faux leather wrap over the whole thing
