You can do it yourself easily. Grainit sells the ink, plates and rollers and is the same process Ford used. I bought a fiddleback maple plate from them around 8x12 inches. I've done several and it looks professional. After inking you spray it with clear. You can buy the base coat from Dupont and I did but it doesn't save money vs Grainit spray cans.
Another alternative is hydro dipping. It costs less than custom graining and looks great as well. I had my dash done on my 36 woody dipped.
I grained my 49 Ford dash, trim and liftgate fiddleback maple, my 41 dash walnut. I also bought two shoebox dashes for wall hangers and did them, a 49 and a 51 two tone. You have to buy the paint from grainit as most paint is not compatible with their inks. They sell it in spray cans. It would help if you had a spray rig to spray the automotive clear coat.
