Have a used centre console for my Firebird, it has been butchered a bit at the front, a couple of holes and a long slit/cut, want to fill this in (before i paint the console with Vinyl paint) but as it is very flexable not sure what to use ?, area is padded so a patch of vinyl material wont really work, thought about filling the hole with something, was wondering if windscreen bond would work ?
Will post a pic of it later.

all the leather seat refurb places do a flexible filler
although once youve bought that and the paints , and chances are it wont look 100% , why not buy more vynil and redo it

There was chunk missing out of one of the armrests on my range rover which a skin of vinyl over a foam like substrate, I filled it with pu sealer trimmed to this to shape and painted the whole part in vinyl cote, after a year it still seems fine.

Cheers, i think i'll have a go with this. Good thing is the holes are partly under the dash so the repairs wont be hugely noticeable.

It did look really good when they did it . I think its a patch underneath , then flexible stuff to bring it up to the level of the other material , then sand then colour .I can't remember what episode it was though. I'm sure there is plenty of tutorial videos on youtube .

Sounds like what i need to do as the bit that has been cut is about 1/2" thick so will need blocked at the bottom then filled level. Was going to fire up a pic but no battery's for camera

I used the same kind of kit on our chesterfield sofa. Had lots of splits, cracked all over, areas missing etc.
I used the patches, filler etc and re painted it black (was red).
Looked ace, couldnt see the filled repair areas.
then the dogs ate it.
