pyntre Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Does anyone have any idea as to who owns this car or what was used to create the silver inlay rather than the wood veneer on the door panel ? It's a really nice look without going too crazy custom I think !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really nice look without going too crazy custom I think !!! It looks like they used the same material as the light grey (leather or vinyl) of the seats wich looks pretty cool on that picture... I used to remake my door panels with wood. But you you can redo them the way I did, while using different materials... for example with leather, vinyl or any other material wich is not too thick to apply. (Even with bursted aluminium sheets or very thin structured metal wich gives a kind of silver look). Here the way I‘ve done it, maybe this helps.

pyntre Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 I just got some samples in the mail from Formica company , don't laugh ! They have new line called DECOMETAL that is really sharp and is exactly the same .040 inch thickness as the walnut veneer . Thinking hard about maybe using that in place of the walnut for a mild custom look ! Hey Mr Scanlan want to cut some of this stuff on your laser ?????? ?? Thanks Schmiddy for the right up on the door panels !! I am starting completely from scratch on mine so all your info really has helped ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgun Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The Decometal looks really good. I was looking at their stuff for my inserts. I want something different than the standard wood. 3M has some nice metal and wood films too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many roads lead to Rome! ...Decometal has great stuff and in my opinion, for a custom look, this is a cool alternative! A real option for customizing your inserts is WTP technologie (Water Transfer Printing). You just need your insert sheets cut the right way (Does not have to be metal) and then you can print them with the subject you want! Ask the supplier that the finish is made in a scratch-resistant layer. Has a terrific look when it's well done! I don't know where you have such supplier in the US, but big brother Google will surely help you! A quick search gave me this example, they have a huge amount of pattern:https://watertransferprinting.com/product-cat/hydrographic-film/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
