Dash veneer repair?

[theironduke]

Went to look at a car todaay and the only real cosmetic issue (no oily ones at all!) is a naff dash, the rest of the cabin just needs a scrub.

Can the dashes be re-laquered? all the wood is there, it's just starting to crack. What are the other options? where can they be sourced?

TIA as ever

This is one of a few places that do dash re-veneers, but gives you an indication of cost.

If you want to keep the wood effect then a new dash will cost up to £200 for both parts (including the radio surround)-check out advertisers in Sprint;or you could replace the veneer yourself, finishing off with several coats of lacquer.Some go for the stainless steel or carbon fibre look.
