Cracked BMW e30 Dashboard Repair

Dashboard repair, from a BMW e30, that was in a bad condition with a lot of cracks. The procedure was: washing, cutting the rough edges, filling, sanding, painting and clear coat for plastics.
OBS: This is a repair, not a restoration. The objective was to improve the inicial condition and fix the cracks!
Reparação de um tablier, proveniente de um e30, que estava em más condições, cheio de rachadelas e muito ressequido. O processo de reparação foi: lavagem, corte das arestas das rachadelas, enchimento, lixagem, pintura e envernizamento.
OBS: Isto é uma reparação não um restauro. O objetivo era melhorar o estado inicial do tablier e corrigir as rachadelas.
Used materials: to fill the cracks we used some sponge from used polishing pads (no waste!!), super glue combined with baking powder that provides strength and some flexibility (better alternative to scratch filler used in leathers... and way more cheaper). To clean: APC "Textile Cleaner" by Kenotek and before painting cleaned with some "cleaning misture" (it's for sale with this name). The paint and clear coat are prepared in the same store and exclusively by them. All the products (including paint, clear coat, cleaning misture) and tecnhics can be found and learned (professional formations) in: www.encontravantagem.com/

Baking soda and good 'ol glue. You can crack the planet in half and fix it with that 👌🏻

[@PuraCarsDetail]

So true! I also have scratch filling, but ... not good for hard surfaces like dashboards, just leathers and derivatives. The glue and baking soda it's a great solution and so, but so cheap!

Good job considering the absolute mess it was in! Well done, mate!

Sem dúvida :) Muito obrigado pelo apoio! Um abraço!

[@embe780]

wow, great job, I have to try it with mine!

[@iagofcardoso]

ficou bom. as trincas ficaram visíveis depois de pronto mas por falta de detalhamento com primer e pintura. mas o processo foi bem simples e mesmo assim ficou muito bom. o meu tabelier vai ser difícil de reparar pois é fino e empenou onde tem apenas espuma. é de um GM brasileiro opala 1981

[@PuraCarsDetail]

Este foi um dos primeiros trabalhos, neste momento consigo um acabamento muito melhor, estamos sempre a evoluir 🙂 Boa sorte com esse trabalho 💪

[@florider_hd]

can you do a double din conversion on these? looks pretty simple to me. nobody has done it in a clean way up in the dashboard. you would have to relocate the ac though

[@oyster_ditch]

Awesome video

[@lee3r24]

What foam was you using for the repair? looked like some scraps of foam superglued into the cracks?

[@LifestylerAUT]

What is the pink and white and transparent substance/material put into the opend crackes?

He is using foam, superglue and the powder is bicarbonate soda! I do think this is not going to last too much

Would be a nice addition to your video if you mentioned what materials you used. Otherwise, nice vid.

Some materials are the "secret of business" but i can describe i little bit more the process :) Thanks for your support!

Some of it looks like baking soda and super glue

[@nfanunes]

Muito bom!!! Finalmente um vídeo nacional para este tipo de reparações. Uma Pergunta: o método usado para encher as rachadelas resiste às mudanças de temperatura sem rachar? É suficientemente flexível?
Cumprimentos e continuem com o bom trabalho.

[@PuraCarsDetail]

Obrigado eheh Tentaremos seguir uma temática dentro deste tipo de reparações, mesmo a nível de peles :) Quanto às mudanças de temperatura penso que aguentará bem isto porque durante a reparação a superfície vai sendo aquecida com o soprador de ar quente e normalmente uso acima dos 200º, e estamos a falar neste caso de uma mudança drástica de temperatura. Quanto à flexibilidade, bem não é tão flexível quanto a superfície original, pelo menos neste caso em que o tablier tem uma composição de espuma e acabamento superficial em vinil, mas sempre flecte pelo menos o suficiente para as torções da carroçaria (e também dependerá sempre um pouco do nível de reparação em si, isto é, se a intervenção é pequena ou grande em relação ao estado do tablier)
Mais uma vez um grande obrigado pelo apoio :)

[@trax1274]

Looks good. Did you spray it with a paint in the end of was it a dye?

[@PuraCarsDetail]

Thanks!! It was paint and clear coat, just for plastics and interior trims :) All this products can be found at www.encontravantagem.com/

I can still see the marks of where the cracks were. Not for me but good effort.

[@PuraCarsDetail]

yes the marks are still visible but this is a repair not a restoration, the objective was to fix the cracks to a better condition. But of course i'll try to find another ways of achive a better results! Thanks for your feedback!

[@mesutbakanoglu9824]

@@PuraCarsDetail what is the white powder you use

[@NRG--stage]

I can still see cracks..should have used Dremel with v shape stone.

[@user-vq9tb2jv3w]

Видно трещины!

[@matthewbryant2735]

Should have done a light sanding over the entire piece so it had the same sheen/texture as the repairs. Then they wouldn't be visible

[@gregoryarrieta3675]

No me gustó el acabado final a pesar de tanta pintura...

Why did I just waist 8 minutes of my life watching this??? Can clearly see every repair, could have at minimum sanded it and covered with textured paint or something, I don't even see the point of putting labor into that

[@kamilkazmierczak2842]

it looks way better than the 100$plastic cover cap or unrepaired. Great alternative for someone who doesn't want to replace the whole dashboard. I will do it without removing it and it will look fine, not like a high end brand new oem bmw perfect amazing restored dashboard of course

[@NikosDIY]

Bullshit repair. Plus bullshit "secrets of the business".
