I can't remember if it was 3-M or not. Think they were. Mine have been in S Fla rain and heat for a year, no change. I've gotten a Few things from DMT over the years. Never an issue w/ them.Real question is how long does the adhesive last?

How long ago did you get them? It's not a peel and stick deal, ya have to wet em..I have a set of the DMT dash overlays for the rally dash in the 68 Barracuda.
I have ‘set’ them in place and they look fantastic.
It looks to me that the overlays cover over a few of the screws that would need to be removed in order to remove the gauge cluster. So I am thinking of using strips of two sided tape.
I am interested in hearing how others mounted the laminate. Mine are not adhesive backed.

Good information and great pictures. So, you have to wet the dash overlay and the console overlay like a plastic model decal for them to stick?
Positive! Just did an email search to prove I ain't lost it ...I used a hole punch to make little cut outs for the mounting screws and used a vinyl epoxy on mine.
All the DMT overlays that I’ve seen are vinyl backed 3M material. They’re not stickers or vinyl tape, they’re actually pretty thick vinyl. Are you sure you’ve got DMT overlays?
The ones I have are closer to plates than they are stickers. They’re definitely not water slide anything.
Well the original dash stuff was painted. Kinda... and the console was a sticker. Hence the pic of console top on my stove, lol Factory... if you don't have 7 monkey's running yer front seats, they outta be coolGood information and great pictures. How durable and scratch resistant are they?

Ehh, dude, for 70 bucks, for the entire dash, and the console, I'm happy. I cain't afford a 400 buck console report top. Well, I could, I guess, but piss on that.. they look killer to me, and the Blue Eyed Blonde worked Art w/ a paint pen for the piping...Well if that’s true it’s a damn shame, because they were way better than anything you could water slide.

No spray, they ARE thick vinyl. Wonder and a Lil dish soap in a bottle, and a 2 buck set of plastic bondo wiperzGood information and great pictures. How durable and scratch resistant are they? Do you use 3M 77 spray to attach them?
Eh. Again, these are pretty darn good for the cash. And they will cover small imperfections, if you have a giant hole in the dash, well... maybe it's time for a dash? Just for clarification, I'm in a 74 Duster. Different gauge set up than Rallye. Although I'd love to put one in!Yeah but the great thing about the overlays they way they used to be is they completely covered the original surface. As in, if you had an extra hole, or some damage, you just lay the overlay directly over it and it would never show to the front. If they’re thin enough to water slide the surface underneath would need to be way smoother.
Pics?I did the carbon fiber ones on my Duster dash pieces. Came out pretty good!

The DMT material is vinyl, .020 or so thick. I contacted DMT late last year to get the name of the material supplier as I was building a gauge - switch mount for the 68 Barracuda to go in place of the center counsel and I wanted the appearance to match the DMT dash overlays. They got me the company name and I got the matching material.Not unless they’ve completely changed from a couple years ago.
DMT was not like the sticker overlays that are sold by other manufacturers
