The garnish moldings had too much a curve for the vinyl material Cli55er used on his dash so I had to do them with the GrainIt method. Didn't turn out horrible although it does help that I can't see past the end of my nose. I will give anyone else that looks at them a blindfold first.
A lack of talent and experience made the inner curves at the corners a challenge for the size rollers I had. Screwed up the first one a few times before getting wise -- or maybe it was frustrated. Cast smaller rollers that would fit and move around the corners better using a modified mini paint roller for the handle and PVC pipe for the molds. Shore 00-10 and 00-20 super soft silicone was the material.
The door pulls were redone using 3/32 ID-5/32 OD clear Tygon tubing. Wrapping tightly, that tubing flattened out to be virtually identical to the size of the original solid plastic stuff. Made sure to reverse the winding direction so the wrap leans toward the front on each side. Not sure I like the clear and think amber would look better against the wood tones. Since clear was what the consensus says it was originally guess I will learn to like it.
