Tailgate Wood Grain

[Hank]

Well the good news is i finally got the tailgate re-grained. I bought the 3M dinoc Dark Tamo and it matches really well. Bad news is i had to buy a 7X4 foot roll minimum so i have enough for 3 more.....

I used the 3M eraser wheel. It wasn't the fastest process but it got the job done. Plus the tailgate had deteriorated much faster than the rest of the car so it was already pretty dry and brittle.

Love your wagon Hank! For future reference what would it cost to buy enough to do a whole car?

well it was $200 for a 7x4 foot roll but i think a 20 foot roll would cover both sides. i bet $450-$600 for the materials. The hard part is keeping the grain pattern consistent which may lead to a lot of material waste.

vinylgiant.com but it came in a tube from metro restyling so they may have sourced it from them.
