Original Factory Process If the original grain still exists, then preferably I would have you send them in as is condition, as this may permit me to match the background or base tone to the exact original as they sometimes vary just a shade or so. Beyond that is absolutely not an issue as I have all of the original factory plates and formulas for every manufacturer that utilized the Wood grain process. My restoration process includes stripping via glass beading all dash, garnish moldings, ashtrays, etc. to the original bare base metal. Prep that metal, sand, then all metal on all sides is primed using the absolute highest quality self etching epoxy primers. The next step involves hand sanding all parts to prepare for the base color. Then all parts are painted three coats of the correct base color (background color). Then I use the original factory process (I have all of the original factory plates and paint/ink formulas) and carefully apply the correct Wood grain to assure absolute correctness of detail using true quality printer’s inks. This entire process uses the newer technologies via better quality epoxy primers, converters to assist in better adhesion of the inks, and three coats of urethane clear finishes wet sanded through 3000 grit and buffed to a show quality shine to complete a fifteen step restoration process to an absolute show quality finish. Time frame to complete your Wood graining restoration is usually four to five weeks or less but, may be adjusted depending on existing workload in the shop at the time of your inquiry. Please confirm! Any metal repair work (if needed) will be restored at $65/hr. I would be very pleased to assist you in restoring your Wood grained dash and or parts to absolute correctness of detail and show quality. We also have restored many muscle car dash plates, consoles and steering wheel inserts as many of our customers prefer the higher quality of our Wood grain process as opposed to the old dynoc method that may have a tendency to peel, shrink or not fit properly edge to edge. Pin striping if required on these parts is done here at the shop.
