Barry, when I was restoring my 64 Spitfire I had my dash remade by a company
called Dash Specialist in Oregon. I was quite pleased with the job they did.
If I remember right it was about $225 in 1997. It sounds like Just Dashes
probably uses the same or similar process.
I consider it immensily better than the coverlay approach.
