San Diego area dash trim upholster help?

I am trying to wrap my dash pieces (5) with suede that matches my paint. I have all the dash pieces off and I have two different brands of contact glue. I also have the material. I have wrapped things in the past on my Dodge Dakota but the mini dash pieces are harder.

Anyone local to San Diego good at doing this? Any tips, tricks or help you could give me. Mainly the hardest pieces for me are the end pieces. Too many sharp contours for me.

Anyone want to give me a hand?

Negotiate! Besides, you'll forget all about the price if they do a neat professional job.

btw, don't you have 5 pieces?
