I will admit the videos on our website are very old.
Also back in the day YouTube only had so much resolution you could upload.
Most people's bandwidth could not handle Big files anyway.
But we do think most folks will get an understanding of the process from them.
Aerosol cans have come a long way also Our Clear is 2K automotive clear
We do have hundreds of patterns and can make any pattern we would need.
Most of our standard patterns came from Benny Estes.
At one time we had a Three year waiting period which is why we developed kits.

We have worked with them in the past. they do use our tools as you can see on our youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@JdeeRat/videos

The video I shot with Benny Estes was recorded on a floppy disk in the old camera. https://youtu.be/ObLxkQiQ_rA

They would be a good bet, if their work is anywhere near what Benny did when he was in Florida.

The wood graining of 1937 Ford dash pictured in the first post of this thread looks amazing!

I had my entire 37 stuff done by a guy on the east coast who advertised in hemmings. He did my dads 39 coupe in 1984. Was still in business 3 years ago. Did excellent job!

Here are a few images of the work that was done by "Wood graining by Estes" on my '40 standard coupe, I have since sold the car.

Looks like a nice job of giving the appearance of 2 pieces of wood joined at the center divider. I wondered how areas like that were handled. Thanks for posting.

They use their blending paper/sandpaper as a mask and then just rolled in the opposite direction withhttps://youtu.be/bJds30Cn8Hs their printing roller. Like doing all the angles on a 37 Plymouth or a 38 Dodge.
