I have a 91 integra and wanted a smooth finish on the dash and was wondering the best way to do that. I was wondering if laminating it in fiberglass would work and if so how would i go about doing it. Thanks for any help.

most dashes are soft plastic or vinyl covered. if you lay glass on them it will mort than likely peel off or not hold the way you intend to. there are products available to stick to plastic that you can use to smooth it out. if it is all plastic( which it prolly isnt) you can just sand the texture out and poly prime it. if not you will have to smooth it with a filler and then sand and spray it

i have a 97 sunfire and I did my whole interiror. For my dash, I took off the vinyl, then I took out the air bag, wich I mad a fiberglass mold of the cover, then fused it on the dash, then smothed it over with a bit of bondo, did the same with the vents, midle two vents are gauge pods now. once I got all the work done, I sprayed some "slick sand" on top of it, than sanded it smooth and sprayed it. The slick sand if a high build primer. And it is from NASON if anyone is wondering. The dash came out flawless and have no problems with bubbling cracks or anything else. hope this information helps.
