For $150 you can have the best repair guy in town do the work. I had it done on a an earlier GTV-6. The repair was not visible and it lasted for several years - was still good when I sold the car (which wom a national first with 99+ points.) Just go to the hi dollar new car dealer in town (Porsche, Mercedes.) Find out who does their work on their used cars. He'll come to your house, and in a couple of hours you wouldn't know there was anything wrong with your dash.

The results are good. Not concours great but it is good for a 'driver' car. There are reports the cracks will eventually re-appear in about a year or so. I put a dash cover (carpet type material) on after the repair was cured to minimize the sun/UV exposure. There are some before & after photos of the dash from our GTV6 here: http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/alfetta-gtv6-1975-1986/169495-dash-repair.html After I finished the job someone else posted that 'Plastic Dip' makes a spray product that might also prove useful for dash repairs. I think the spray-can truck bed liner is a little too thin. If/when I re-do the dash I might either try the Plastic Dip product or take the dash to a shop that does spray on truck bed liners (thinking perhaps their material is a little thicker/more durable?).
