I assume it's fabric and spray on adhesive, hence the tugging and pulling to get it cut / shaped right without any crinkles or bubbles.

Nice work.

If I didn't know better, I'd think you were using pictures of my dash for the before.

Man I completely forgot to do any WIP pics. It was late last night when I started and was too dark in my garage. The only real issue I had was the area around the a/c controls. My best advice to everyone is to not overdo the adhesive. The super 77 is really forgiving when it comes to placing the actual vinyl. I sprayed a very light coat on both the vinyl and the console and started from the middle and worked outward. If you mess up just have a big bottle of rubbing alcohol by your side and you should be ok.
