Replacement woodgrain for bezel?

Is there anywhere you can buy just the woodgrain sticker? Has anyone redone their bezel themselves and used a specific product? What was the product/procedure/result?

Thanks!

I thought about doing this myself. I looked online and even went to Lowes to look at the wood grain laminate they have in rolls but decided not to. Putting the stick on laminate would be a hard detailed process. It could be done, but I'm probably not that good at that type of detailing. So, decided not to attempt it.

Good luck.

Re: Replacement woodgrain for bezel?

This is what I've seen being recommended.

https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-...94857497&rt=r3

Have not used it personally, so can't comment on that, but I've seen other folks vouch for it on here.

Re: Replacement woodgrain for bezel?

Anybody know what the correct wood grain in the 3m Di-Noc would be?

Do not know about the 3m product but here are some ideas for vinyl wood grain wrap that might work:

I'm not sure if any of the 3M offerings are direct matches or not, but according to the factory sales literature, there were 3 different simulated wood grain finishes used for the dash bezels and other interior trim from 1973 to 1977.

1973 - 1974 = Dark Walnut
1975 - 1976 = Burlwood
1977 = Chestnut

The wood grain was replaced with a brushed metal finish in 1978 that continued up into the 80's.
They went back to a wood grain in some of the R/V series around 89 or so but I don't remember seeing any specific name for it in the brochures.
