Red face Wrapping a Dash/headliner?

I'm sure this has been covered a couple of times but due to my slow ass computer are there any write ups on how to wrap a dash with suede and what supplies I would need to get

My dash has seen better days, and I feel its unnessary to buy a uncracked dash because it will eventually crack. I'd rather spend a couple of bucks to make it nice lol

Please, I say please keep your dumbass comments to yourself its my car not yours.

Thanks

If you flock a dash it won't cover the cracks. I'm not sure if you know that, but apparently a lot of people don't. =/

urine surprisingly works as a great dash preventative, coat it on using a paint brush liberally. the pH balance in it acts as neutralizer to the heat prone and dry rotting vinyl dash. do this once every other month and aerate the car accordingly.

my dash is 20 years old and I've been doing this for about 3 years to mine and my friends cars and it's worked it's magic leaving my dash perfect and lustrous

ask tim.

A lot of people also don't know that before you start to recover (wrap or flock) a dash, you're supposed to remove the old cracked vinyl. The plastic dash carcass is where you want to start.

I was doing some forum searching to see if there's anyone that has gone to a place to get their dash wrapped with some sort of fabric.. Any reliable places? I don't have the time to do it myself. Would rather pay a reputable shop to do it.


Thanks

Any classic car interior shop can make a cracked dash look brand new from nissan, and only charge like $200.
