    Drivers console on Astro

    Guys my driver console has seen it's better days. Even has a small crack. Anyone know of a place that sells or would have a replacement OR if I were to seal the crack have a suggestion on a paint that I could do myself to make it look new? I think the console is plastic, but unsure of what kind and if it makes a difference for the types of paint to use.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Billy, good luck finding OEM parts as they can sometimes be VERY hard to find. Your best bet is to look around and see if you have a local fabricator that could build you one. Probably won't be cheap. Good luck!

    That's why I was thinking that just painting it might be a better option?

    Rust oleam for plastics is what I used on mine, it has held up good on mine now for 3 years. Comes in multiple colors just be sure to clean it well before spraying and keep giving it light coats till u c what u like and it’s cheap

    Hmmmmm.....lots of work to remove everything and ship it off. IF, and a big IF I were to do that what kind of turnaround time do you think? And message me a very rough estimate on dipping something that size please.

    shoot me with a text with pic of the dash as I have no idea of the size or what it looks like on a Astro. I just assumed if were painting it and fixing crack it would be already off boat. Only reason suggested it.
