Big help needed - messed up the dashboard!

[toey]

Hey all,

So my dad installed a GPS holder on the dashboard a while ago, and for whatever reason, he decided to take it down and install another one using super glue. He spilled super glue all over the steering wheel and a bit on the dashboard.

I read on the internet that using acetone/nail polish remover would do the job, so I bought a bottle today and applied it to the glue on the dashboard - BIG MISTAKE! The colour came off, as you can see below

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Is there some sort of paint I can buy to spray on? Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

I would just look at wreckers for another one. Would be cheap as, probably cheaper than sanding back and colour matching that. Way less effort too

easiest way is to either find a second hand piece and replace it they only clip out or re paint it just find the paint code or update to the pod gauges...

Remove and replace

Lol @ ya dad

1) Remove said piece.
2) Replace said piece (Dad should pay for it).
3) Kick Dad in the arse (he should accept it willingly).
4) Frame said piece and hang it in his room, as a reminder of what NOT to do.
5) Crack a tinny.

Thanks everyone, much obliged!

Looks like the idea is to find a replacement and put it in. Hmm, now to find the wreckers...

Could always use this opportunity to put a gauge pod in

But yes, replacement is going to work out far cheaper than repair.

cheap option apply vinyl... like carbon fiber or any other matte finishing..
