How to paint "wood grain" door trim

[Bingster]

Rich did a great job on his garnish mouldings!  I'm doing mine now.

The dash and window garnish moulding in this photo were refinished using the water transfer method.

Hey, I am needing to do this. How does the dash come out? Have a 1947 desoto.

Thanks Dave

it unbolts in a 47 dodge.  I would imagine the desoto would be the same

Here's a photo of my old dash.  In addition to the fasteners at the end, there are fasteners behind the windshield molding.

 

 

And there will be a bracket or two under the dash.  (And of course the bracket that holds the steering column to the dash.)

The hydrographic method works well.    The  original pattern may not be available.

I think the original pattern for a P15 is available here. It's called Sapele.    Not sure about DeSoto.
