Default Re: Wood graining kits

If you just pulled of the top layer (clear coat )then you may be able to re coat it with clear then rub back between each 4 coats ..If it worse than that then a full job is required ,The small part that I did I took some color lacquer to the job then eye matched some to the base of the back ground color ,then I used some timber wipe on stain (the paste type ) or you can use printers ink and something with a texture in it like Burlap or a bit of foam rubber to grain it ,then clear coat it . The sytiom that GM talks about is a membrane thats floats on water they spray a activator on it ,then they dip the object in it .it .I have seen a steering wheel done and it does a outstanding job Ted

What did you use ? Home Depot has a wood graining kit.
