Other option is Dupicolor vinyl and fabric spray paint, which is also meant to be good.

But heard better things of VHT.

pity, it would have been cheap if he could just sell one part.

Is VHT easy to be found in Brisbane? Would autobarn/supercheap be stocking them? Plus, from what I've read, they easily scratch off?

Yeah that's what I sort of felt, considering I was interested in numerous parts, but all of them were random, can see it from his view point but wasn't going to persue :-(

Actually wanted a whole interior to trial the black dying, as my original motive, but currently I think I'll just have to wait until they start increasing their presence in the yards :-(

so autobarn does stock VHT! also, seems easy, wax and grease remover, couple layers and then i'll have a no-stain dash in black. Probably be only doing the dash around the speedo, hopefully that'll look good. thanks for all the links though, great pics they had, got me excited for this weekend.

What you could even do is spray a sheet of paper then tape to dash to test out to see if the colour is definitely what you are looking for, least before you go all out and take apart the dash and what-not.

Good luck though! Look forward to hopefully hearing a happy result.

So I've emailed catchoftheday.com.au about the damage to my car, arguing that the iphone holder was depicted being used on the dashboard, and that in doing so, I've got this irreversible damage to the dash. They've requested for both picture of holder and damage, as well as a statutory declaration of how the damage occurred etc etc with a JP signing it off for them to take action. Might have something good out of this ey.

Do keep us posted if anything materialises
