I didn't know this was an NBS issue. Did heat or cold do that?

The slots where the vents are cracks easy, the guys that did my windshield tint put weight up there probably leaning on it made it crack, and I made it worse when I was doing the heater core work
All the dashes at the junkyard ive seen are always cracked up front and the only other fix is a cover

Ok. I've never seen or even heard of an nbs dash cracking before. Whenever I saw one in the jy they were always good. Only issue I've ever known about is the paint likes to peel and chip easily. Mine is all nicked up from the tuner and his damn laptop.

You're lucky then lol it's like everyone uses it as a storage shelf and they are shot.
I gotta find some color matching paint now

@Rocket Man actually painted his dash, iirc it was also shale. Hopefully he'll chime in and let you know what he used.

Your interior color code should be 92I and 922. Look at your RPO codes in the glovebox. If so you want SEM Classic Coat 17163. It’s a perfect match. The factory color will come off easily with scotchbrite pads and denatured alcohol, then use an adhesion promoter first and then spray.
