Default How do you fix scratched/gouged dashboard?

I have a few imperfections on my dashboard that are bothering the hell out of me. None of these were caused from sun damage, just mistakes. 2 very tiny chunks ripped out when a friend was trying to take out my center vents (on top of and on the edge of the vent). One small scratch on the driver side. And a centimeter sized chunk that got scraped out on the door handle and is showing the green material underneath.

These are starting to bother the hell out of me cause I see them every time I drive Is there anything I can do to fix them without replacing the entire dashboard? Something that i can fill the gouges with to make it blend in better? I need an inexpensive way to fill in and cover these things up. Has anybody had luck with going to some upholstery shop to fix these kinds of problems?

IDK, there seems to be mixed reviews on this product...I wouldn't buy it. I have the same dash issues as you and it is bothering the hell out of me too. I'm planning to put some kind of adhesive strip and plasti-dip over it just like how Stoodo did.

Plasti-dip? Does it even match with the dash?
