I am getting ready to replace my RED dash pad. My question is do the ones from Rest Parts and other come in painted or dyed vinyl? I found a company that states it makes the best fit ones but they only sell Black and say to paint to match.
If your pad is in good shape and it's the wrong color, I'd vinyl dye it instead of buying one in the correct color
I believe Eagleguy is talking about his 70 CHEVELLE. https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/dash-pad-replacement.372285/
Yes I am referring to my Chevelle. Someone replaced the dash with a repo prior and it fits like crap. I have seen some better ones come only in black and can be painted or dyed over. I think I would rather have one where the product started out as Red. Want the best for the 300-500 one would cost. Merry Christmas!
If the new ones are made out of urethane/rubber then the dye does not adhere too well. If you have to dye one then you are better off doing that to an original. I have some originals that have been stored for years, and can look to see what I have if you are interested. It will take me a few days to check. Which type are you looking for, the single speaker or the 2-speaker stereo dash? Duane
