Hello
I own lokayswoodgrain@aol.com We do the orginal style woodgraining that the manufacture did on your car. The first step is to remove all orginal finish down to the metal and start from scratch. We put the base color on first then we print the orginal patern and color of wood grain on it. After that we clear coat and let it sit for two weeks to cure. Then we wet sand and buff to a high luster. All work is perfect or it will not leave the shop!
My wife says I'm to pickey but right is right and wrong is wrong. I love what I do and for that reason you will get the best product on the market. To contact me you can call me At 727-375-1797
e-mail me at lokayswoodgrain@aol.com
Thanks
Tom Lokay

The dash you see with the garnish mouldings was $ 1400.
It depends on the job, If there is body work of two tone, ect.
Thanks
Tom Lokay
p.s. I would like to see more pics of your car!

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply and price info.

Here you can see where I am at on my car. I have a long way to go before she is road worthy again.

Thanks for the encouragement. It is tuff up here in the Northern hemisphere to work on her during the winter. I see you are in Florida so that means you can play all the time. smile
