02 Tahoe Dashboard Repair

[rickp]

Hey guys,
I have an 02 Tahoe that has a 4" crack in the dashboard. Whats the best recommended way to repair it? I've seen some Youtube videos with people using some sort of puddy or paste then sanding it down, then painting over.

Can anyone point me to a good DIY source for a repair.

Also are SEM paint products good for refinishing the interior dashboard paint?
My interior in Tan Leather with the classic 2 tone dash slight gray on top dash with lower side being tan.
If anyone knows the paint codes that would be really great!!

Thanks guys.
R.

First id see about getting one outta the junkyard that's the right color and skipping all that unless it's really expensive or something

I bet the junkyard stuff isnt going to be much better.... How about a dash cover would that work?

Every one in the yard I've looked at looked fine to me. Price I dunno though

Get a plastic welding kit to repair the crack, then use dash filler (it works like a bondo). Lastly paint it.
