Re: Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain
Maybe you could have another tinted clear coat applied that would get to the color you originally wanted.

Re: Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain
Thanks for all the compliments! I appreciate it.
Brian- Yours looks great. Does it have a low sheen or is it matte finish? Looks like actual stained wood that way especially in that color. |

Re: Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain
I was thinking the same thing 700RPM. I'll be done here with the restoration pretty soon so I'll probably take a breather from tinkering with it for a while. Eventually after I cross some other honey-do's off the list I will pull them off and do just that.

Re: Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain
I really like the look of both examples. Great depth and looks like real wood. I will look into this next time I need wood graining done. Thanks for posting your examples.

"I thought I'd share pictures of what a dash hydro dipped looks like for the folks that want woodgrain but are not sure how to paint it themselves." It would have been nice to have a link to how it is done. Brianfrench65 provided what was missing though, Thanks Brian! Cool Hand: Try this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zIBiG_u0_wA |

Re: Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain
Cool hand lurker - My original post may have been misleading to you and others as I have received a message regarding a quote for this type of work. I did not perform this work myself. I have no video demonstrations to share with you or links to post of the process. This was simply work I had farmed out and wanted to share the outcome. I mentioned the company I used in post #10. I've read in the past other threads regarding who sells woodgraining kits and gents that have trouble doing it themselves or who could people send thier parts to be woodgrained. I was simply offering a view of another option out there that can be utilized. I apologize for any confusion.

Re: Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain
Not a problem, Barber. I have the sickness of always wanting to 'do it myself' so I misinterpreted your message. I didn't want to search another site because when I do, it leads to something else interesting and I get distracted by too much other good stuff! I never make it back to what I was looking at in the first place.

Re: Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain
No prob. Seems we have a lot in common then. I have the same issues. In this case my "do it myself " sickness took a backseat due to my " never enough time in the day to get everything done" problem

Re: Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain
As an aside note, can someone tell me which cars were given the woodgrain treatment from the factory? I have never seen an original with it.

Re: Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain
If I were 60 years younger I'd make a career of woodgraining. I did my own with cheap house paints and mahogany stain that I had left over from my furniture finishing days. Used a 39 cent brush for the graining part and sprayed several coats of lacquer over the finished product. Took a piece in the house and laid it on a mahogany table and had trouble finding it, (I lie a bit) but it sure did blend in. I have looked at original cars and their woodgraining is not real good. Whatever make the owner happy is fine with me. Yours looks great.
