Crack Filler/painting the dash.

I'm trying to figure out how to fill in the cracks on my dash, so that when I goto paint the interior here soon with my new air compressor what to use that will allow me to paint the dash, without leaving me with these ugly cracks. So if anyone can tell me what to use and where to get it, i'd greatly appreciate it!

I would suggest that you widen the grooves till they are at least 1/4" wide, and then fill with caulking that is NOT SILICONE.

Then mask the glass and surroundings off. Sand the dash and caulking filler, task off, and then paint it with a interior paint (vinyl spray, check autoparts store).

Well, what I'm also curious about is a way to fill in the cracks so that I can paint it so that it looks good as new again, but at the same time, is the sealing of it, and repainting it going to keep the dash from re cracking?

NO once the plastic has hardened and dried the only thing to do is replace...
people are allways looking for a way to fix this type of problem but the plastic has started to break down under the sun.
Trust me DON'T bother..just get a dash cap from "dash caps"
and yer done

OMG

While cleaning the interior of my car today, I noticed that my dash is starting to crack too. Its not as bad as yours Troyfrezze.

Damn I hate the sun.

Would armorall help it from cracking further? I'm just trying to use my sun shades everyday now.

I did see a dash for sale on ebay a few days ago....
