just one other thing I have thought of ...on some very curved dashboards I have made, fabricated I have used a company using flock spraying..ie the sort of finish you get on glovebox interiors or sunroof interior slide panels
they spray an adhesive then positive charge and spray fine fibres that stand on end due to static..
this can be done with any colour and gives a great hard wearing finish close to alcantara finish

Pics please :-D
