Abstract: This invention relates to a method for repairing plastic materials, and more specifically, automobile dashboards and the like. The method enables one to provide the repaired item with a texturized finish such that cracks, cuts, and other imperfections in the surface are completely covered in such a manner that the repaired item appears to take on the appearance of being new. The method comprises the steps of filling in cracks and other indentations with a hardenable filler such that a smooth surface is formed. A base coat of an acrylic resin is then applied over the surface followed by a texturized acrylic resin coating which forms a texturized finish on the surface. Depending on the original color of the item to be repaired, a thin colored coating may be applied over the texturized finish so as to form a continuous colored texturized finish over the entire surface of the now-repaired item completely masking the cracks and other imperfections in the surface thereof.
