I've included the GM stickers that were attached to back.

Now, the woodgrain inserts didn't come with the door panels. They were bought separately.
They weren't in very good shape, but they also weren't dented. I had some woodgrain left from a Blazer tailgate panel resto, so I thought I'd use it.

The raised surfaces of the insert just weren't going to allow me to cover the entire panel, so I simply trimed it to cover the flat part. Then, I took a can of brown Rustoleum and masked off the outer edge and shot it.

I thought it turned out good for my project.

Here they are installed, with Counterpart repop arm rests. They matched very good!

Your panels look great. That is the bigest problem with re-laminating the woodgrain, having to stretch the material over the curves... or do like you did. Hmmm, you got me thinking.

Thanks
