vinyl dash rapair

[enio45]

Related to this, i have an original mint 69 camaro -green dash pad...with one problem, on the front edge, it caught a burn mark from a drop lite about 1 inch diameter. This is a crying shame, as its the original green pad. I have long thought of ways to fix this, with the poly materials available today and the vinyl repair products, there must be a way to fix this and recreate the grain look. I assume it may have to have a lite coat of dye overall to cover the repair and make it uniform, but would be still the orig pad.

I appreciate any ideas....i have kept it this way not wanting to go to the repo or to the NOS one where u have to dye it anyhow and they all have the bald spot on them.

Any thoughts on who, how or could take the care and time to repair this??
