E body centre console wood grain

Post by sublimemike »

Hey all,
My wood grain is some what tired and faded. There must be some graphics companies this side of the pond doing over lays to freshen it up? Anybody done this?

Not sure how an e-body woodgrain compares but when we refurbished our very second hand b-body console, Stu bought some woodgrain-effect 'fablon' (self adhesive vinyl) that was a very close match to what we needed, which saved $$$ compared to what it would have cost from year one etc...

£2 a roll from my local hardware store.
Not a B&Q / Homebase / Wickes but just a proper old fashioned shop that sells pots & pans, paints, stuff for the home.
Probably easier to search online. Photos of offcut below:
