So my 1968 gtv faux wood flat dashboard isn't in the best shape. Top is actually pretty good, but the wooden part is fairly tatty (and deep down not a fan of the wood)

I should also mention that this car is far from excellent or original either.

What can I do to improve...
Remedy/improve the wood somehow?
Paint it black
Get it covered in something (who in Melb)

Thanks.

Hey,
Have you thought about getting a new fibre glass dash and custom painting it or putting some different materials on it?

Took a pic at the 2010 Auto Italia of this mob "Prostitch". Only thing is they are in Sydney, might be worth a call tho'....

Speed costs money - how fast do you want to go?

Was recommended to use Cel at https://designautointerior.wixsite.com/designauto by Monza Motors. Think they are more into seats and upholstery, but might be a good place to get advice. Or Monza?

There is a guy in Perth who does fibreglass ones and has them airbrushed in wood look like original>
  he has a face book page. They look very good!

Unfortunately, Prostitch is too cool for school now and only do Porsche's.

They also don't return messages or phone calls.
