Ovalrace25 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Practice makes perfect.. Get some medium tan spray paint. put it on a test piece.. then get a tube of some raw umber at your local art supply. kind of brush it onto the tan base coat, then use a medium length paint roller pad to sweep over the raw umber... get the picture? You can chage base colors and the art supply paint tube colors to get where you want.. I have seen guys do faux marble with the same stuff..... Then when it looks abou tright, start laying clear over the top . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commander Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 I did find a book all about woodgraining your dash. For those interested it's call Woodgraing by Bob Dunham. It is also co-authored by Bill Cannon. The book was published by SK Publications in 1980. I will check out your idea at the art supply. Thanks for the inputThe Commander** <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
