Like I'm sure many F-body owners, my car has seen it's share of the sun. The charcoal interior has lost some of its luster, and the dash has gone from it's dark shade to a tan on top. I've seen some discussions on dying the seats and cloth to a different color, but what is the best way to fix my dash? What kind of paint do you use on your faded dash?

I really appreciate all the input, guys. I know I'm not the only one with this problem!

For leather and vinyl i use lexol, the brown bottle is for moisturizing and the orange one is for cleaning. My seats sat out in the sun for 5 years of no cleaning or driving before I got it. Made the leather nice and soft again. My headrests felt like cinderblocks before i used it. I just use armorall gel for the dash, but there a probably better products out there for that.

You probably don't have to paint it, just recondition it. Some pics would help also...

I've been trying to attach an image, but I keep getting a blank screen as it's uploading.

EDIT—here it is online.

the file size is to large, reduce the pics resolution till they're around half a MB and they should upload.

I feel compelled to bump this topic.

Just be happy its not broken. Get a sunscreen. Other than that ... I think I have seen people dye theirs.

That's what I'm trying to figure out still. What dye to I use? Is there a brand that is a better match to the rest of my dash? Do I have to gut my interior in order to do this.

If you dye it do the whole piece with it so it all matches so id do as much as you can or at least can see in plain view for it to match
