    got a cracked dash. Decided to try and fix it myself.
    upload_2021-10-24_16-33-49.png Here is what I started with

    upload_2021-10-24_16-34-46.png Chipped away the hard parts. Made a groove under the edges

    upload_2021-10-24_16-37-24.png Painted with vinyl paint, then hammered paint

    upload_2021-10-24_16-39-35.png no more crack.

    Problem was paint was very silver even thought it said mate black. Decided to speckle the rest instead of painting the pad black

    Look great and simple enough to try. Thanks for that idea!
