the puns got me cracked up
12 people standing around and you have to shake the spray cans yourself....
what if you could swap the engine from the motorhome into the miata if you blow the stock motor.
option 4, pull the dash, buy automotive bumper urethane filler, fill cracks, then 3M glue down vinyl from fabric store and use heat gun on warm day....that's my plan and people have done it
How does the flocked dash hold up? Does the fiber rub off or shed all over the car?
Just flex seal the crap out of the crack
I want to use “the blackest paint” on my dash cause it’s a grey leather and I think that’ll stop the reflection on my windshield
Life hack - get an overlay that ISN'T a match - it looks intentional like it was made that way. Imagine a brown overlay in the video, it'd look like it was added there to stylize the car.
Can you do one for a cracked trans and transfer case 😔
Zach: i really hope rhis wont take too long Me: *sees video is 20 minutes long* Me: oh boy 🙃
What kind of filler and prep are they using? Where do i get some/what am i looking for?
Using a sponge and "pat" the wet paint should do a pretty good job with adding texture
S14
my home depot straight piped 240 still has a crack free dash. very blessed.
Yo you should wear a respirator doing this stuff 😷
Cheaper option than all of these. Jb plastiweld $12 A careful hand Put it on the interior of the dash panel along the entire length of the crack(s) Sincerely a cavalier owner
Can you guys link the stuff you get?
Think these products will fix a gen 2 Dodge Ram dash 🤣🤣
Flocking is for the inside of jewelry boxes! SEM products hands down... the only reason it looks like it does is lack of experience, I have made dashboards look like brand new with SEM products. Light coats says " I'm a amateur stand back!" This is why people pay pros...
How well does the flocking hold up against scuffs though? Its powder coated adhesive, so its probs not very durable?
He flocked the hell out of that dash
150 for an overlay? It costs 200 to get you dash repaired
Oof...that flocking looks horrible. Your patch on the Miata looked better.
Overlay would have looked the best of the 3 if you had used adhesive.
The flock looks like velvet
The Flocking looks so ugly like a velvet interior from an 80s muscle car. Would definitely rather use spray paint
I think that the miata honestly looks better
The s14 dash looks like pubes are glued to it
Not bad, but I would be way to afraid to make it look worse. I have big crack in my C10 dash, but the dash is blue and I think would be harder to replicate compared to a black one. Also my lazy is gluing in the inlay and calling it a day lol.
Question for Joe : Wouldn’t the flocked dash become harder to clean with that fiber texture ? You can vacuum it, but never wipe it down again? I have the same concern when I seen people drape their dash with what looks like a factory made carpet cut & molded to slip over a cracked dash. It seems like once anything messier than dust hits that kind of dash covering, it would need a shampoo or wet vac cleaning.
ware did he buy flocking stuffs
Man, I might be the outlier but I didn't like any of the fixes, each one has its own perks and flaws, I've been in the vinyl industry my whole life, normally I wouod stay away from interior parts, but a thick wrap of a faux material might look better than any of these, it would still require sanding and filling in the cracks , get a smooth clean surface and depending on how flat or curvy the dash is it could be way easier and look brand new perfect. You just have to know how to stretch pull the corners and then tuck it under to get nice front corners, and anything else that won't be seen can be ugly. I might try this , there is a chance I wouldn't even have to take the dash all the out. Maybe just loose.
Overlay all day.
Is wrapping your dash another possibility
The flocked dash looks like suede or alcantara. I kind of like it. Bet it would look real nice in a luxury car too.
in theory, there is one more option - paint with raptor liner or similar - it will create a texture
They all look terrible.
I believe I would look for a good used dash or reproduction. Was not impressed with either option.
I don't know about that flok it looks pretty off to me in video
Damn how did you get pew pie
So just an idea but our need to make a silicone mold off a good part of you dash so the paint won't stick that well
Who drove that camper from Canton or Massillon, OH???
Wow, actually a sponsored part that I watched and even enjoyed :O
I got a bad feeling about the flock dash. How do you clean it later? Vacuum might start wearing away the flock. Maybe you can flock it again, maybe not. I like the good at a glance, less invasive method. The whole dash remains stock. Didn't show what the sealer was. I have an AE86 dash that's cracked and lifting up like a breaking wave. To cap it I'd need to grind or cut it flat. They used to sell this leather and vinyl patch kit on t.v. that had different texture patterns you ironed over. Old cars had dash boards and you could replace the leather,vinyl or cloth easily. Always wanted to do the whole interior in Marshall amp Rolex. Have 4x10 inch Celestion speakers with the basket weave covers and white piping. It would be like being inside an amp. Vw had a car you can plug a guitar into and it came with a custom guitar as I remember.
I meant Tolex it's the fake leather. Darn spell check. The companies that wrap cars should get on this dash problem.
This gentleman really gets on my nerves. I don’t understand if the intention is to teach or be a comic video, well he is not accomplishing any of it. And if every time you are about to do something , you start by declaring that you don’t know how is it going to turn out about 100 times, and the camera just moving everywhere that we can not see what you did, all the wile you are cracking an attempt to a joke ... this is a torture to watch. Is the first “how to video” that the only thing you see is more the face of the host than the object he is trying to fix. A pain in the butt to watch!!!!
Flock It dash looks like a carpet😂
Great man love ur work❤️
Thanks for teaching us how to fill cracks
Now with the flock after youve finished when you run your hand across the dash does it scrape off any of the little particles?
Flocking the dash in a normal car with a full interior makes it look like a crappy wannabe racer. I'd take the paint option any day unless it's actually a stripped out track-car..
Use noodle
This video is 2014 minutes long
Why doesn't he get a light coats song or does only James get songs?
Can you vacuum the flock dash
Plastic weld and flocking work great for the money. Be advised, the flock attracts dust, lint, hair and randoms wanting to touch it at car shows🧐
I admire this mans patience. After the 2nd failed attempt I’d probably turn a decent dash into a pile of plastic chips
flock looks like pile of steaming hot dogshit. looks like my goddamn grandmas shirt ffs. the paint aint perfect because you half assed it, more detail and tada. yes i have done some leather look alike detailing, so i know it aint that hard, tips and tricks can be found somewhere when you google it
Say how bad stuff is from Ebay then that's there sponsor lol
Maybe it looks better in person, but that flocked dash look pretty bad in the video, IMO anyway. The painted one turned out way better than I thought it would. Actually worth doing. That being said, I'd probably install the overlay instead as it looked the best and was the easiest. And $150 while not having to remove your dash sounds like a great deal. Every time I remove/reinstall interior pieces I'm worried that I'm going to break something.
"Mint condition car" Car has a massive gash across its dashboard
I'm from Canada, we just take mint dashes and crush them in the rust buckets they're in.
No leather repair kit??? Mucho confused but ok
*Comes out of old RV and talks about cracks* mhm I'm sure.
FiberGlass is another handy solver for cracked dashes also.
Textured Black Paint is awesome for a job such as a cracked dash..
Hey I have a cadillac just like the one behind the rv (12:53) you should work on that next lol since Tahoes and Yukon, escalade almost share the same part
The flock looks shengis man lol, I don't like that.
Textured Automotive Finishing/Grain Pads- For resurfacing “leather-like” vinyl are what you needed to replicate the original texture of your dash.
“Sometimes it pays to be the worst.” That’s vlogging for you.
What about using bedliner or undercoat?
Did Chevy build the car lol
U right, #2 looks better 👍
I liked the Miata's. The s14 looks fuzzy and makes me wanna hurl
Think the dash on my bnr32 might be even worse than your s14. Sounds like a winter project brewing thanks for the 💡!
Thumbnail made me think y’all had donut operator for a second😂
19:19 pewds ko kick
u miss 1 method that i used , put the scotlight or coating on it its more easier and more cheaper . spent around 15$ .
The flocked looks really good. But I’m not a fan of flocked dashes. I think with more effort into the Miata dash, it could have looked better. Idk
At least you have a dash. I sneezed too hard and mine exploded in my 2nd gen ram.
my favorite fix is a new dash
back to the jo. *gets hit with a ad.
The overlay looks the best but you didn't install it. Glue it in and it will look waaaay better then the flock which looks like a rough, unoriginal surface.
I feel there are a lot of gen 2 dodge owners here
Was that pewds??
Us a fiberglass strip with adhesive on the cracks and where he broke it because the cracks will come back with all the vibrations on the road. Dont put it on top lol put it on the underside of the dash
Lmao he called that cracked 😂 my 94 Silverado has a black whole where the dash was
*add Pewds here*😂😂
There must be like a leather fabric you could just glue overtop lol
You should probably wear a mask when applying that flocking stuff!
after watching this I now just want to flock every car I have access to
U should do a episode on your s14
I believe they are donut media lol

Damn Zach, calling out Eddie and Felipe by full government name!
You’ve heard of cracked dash but have you heard of bubbling dash. My moms old 08 Infiniti FX35 had a dashboard that one day just had a bunch of bubbles on top of the plastic dash. We assumed it was from the heat or something because she always left her car at the airport. I just thought I’d share thatwith y’all
