Default patina wood grain

Thought I would post this since I was asked to try and match a old 39 dash to original wood grained window garnishes .More when I finish.

Here you can see we are trying to colour match to get the correct base colour .

It looks like you're using the Grain-It system. Are you? How do you like it?

Here's the finished Dash its a Matt finish ,I am using Base coat clear coat for durability .I like it ,I have some years spraying all types items so it helps .I am pleased with the way it came out its pretty much what you would expect it to be in 39, the photo doesn't show it real well
