Best method to fix cracks on dash?

[Brain75]

I know why you bought the paint, it isn't that you want it perfect, you just don't want to start in on the huge task of pulling the current one.

You're not wrong...

fwiw, I have a crack that is about 60% as bad as your new donor started out... I haven't done anything with it other than buy the materials.

Might see it in the background of some of my pics but I have new wheel bearings and ball joints waiting patiently to go in too

I came here to say, this is what I will now do for My '88 Ranger dash pad. I don't want to go too crazy with fixing it, I plan to make it matte black (reduce glare) and I love the texture paint idea to hide the imperfections rather than playing around with all the other complex methods. I appreciate you posting this. I'll have to remember to post me repairing mine so there is more of these available!

Saw it on a YouTube video somewhere. I have to say the texture has held up well. It's under a couple layers of paint. I was worried it might want to flake off at some point but it's well hardened up.
