Thanks for the appreciation.

Has been a long and laborious job.
I found a person who had the mold of the dashboard, but he don't had the PVC fabric to coat.
After a long time I could find a company that I have printed for me 100 meters ( :shock: ) of PVC with the right design, thickness and texture.
I had to "demolish" the original dashboard (which was in poor condition) to reuse the internal metal structure to be inserted into the mold.
The mold was old and only after several attempts we managed to get an acceptable result.
Now unfortunately the mold is unusable and redo a mold for a few pieces involves costs can not be managed.

Amazing Patrizio. What a wonderful job. My dashboard has been redone in leather. Looks nice but not original. How much would your supplier charge to create a new mould? May be if a few of us got together it would be economic?

I tried to ask if we could do it, but with a catchment area of a few auto (we could get to max 10/15 car) spending is impractical.
I also stayed a few tens of meters of PVC coated, but without mold .... :roll:
