Greetings Fellow Packardites!
I've seen a Facebook post by Jon Schramm about his '50 Touring Sedan. He posted pictures of the BEAUTIFUL job he's done on woodgraining the interior trim.(I've attached photos of his work.)
I commented on how I would appreciate knowing how he did it(also instant messaged him) but haven't received a response.
So, does anyone have a link or any information on how to achieve a factory looking woodgrain? Thanks in advance!

I don't know what his process might have been or if he is just genuinely talented and did those by hand but GrainIt Technologieshttp://www.woodgraining.com has a kit for do it yourself woodgraining using rollers and a printing technique similar to the original methods. David Grubbs has done several dashes using their kit and he has posted photos of them in various threads here. Joe Santana did his 40 with the kit and has photos on his project blog. I did my 47 dash and will do the window moldings at some point. Not quite as easy as their videos make it look but definitely within a DIY capabilities.
