kramttocs Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Nice! This is the one I bought for my console top: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3M-DI-NOC-ROSEWOOD-Wood-Grain-Vinyl-Wrap-Sheet-Film-Sticker-Decal-Roll-Adhesive/182698783881?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 (was $25 for 4x1 at the time) I know there has been talk of pre-cut and dipping but until then, seems like this could be a valid option. Especially on the cluster and radio bezels where the edges could sit flat as opposed to rounded over like the horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the middle one of David's list and yours, Scott, come really close to the original Rosewood. But how did your console turn out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy with it but tomorrow or this weekend I will unbox a stored Rosewood bezel and take a photo next to the console lid. I clear coated the ones in my truck so they won't be a great comparison for others to go off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a noticeable thickness to the 3m offering. The rosewood does have the raised texture feel. https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/828533O/3m-di-noc-technical-data-sheet.pdf 8 mils (200 microns) nominal, not including release liner Some designs vary slightly in thickness due to embossing You are right - the stuff on them now just flakes off when it starts and it is very thin. Anyone here know the process that was used back then? Googled and looks like hydrodipping would have been too new at the time (patent 1982?).

Anyone here know the process that was used back then? Googled and looks like hydrodipping would have been too new at the time (patent 1982?). Scott, I don’t know the answer, but it is an extremely thin printed film like hydro dip. I assumed it was water transfer, but if that did not exist until 1982 then I don’t know how the transfer was done. I do know that the black panel of the radio bezel nameplate and the black sidewalks of the HVAC control area are black paint applied over the woodgrain, and the wrong brand of clear coat caused the woodgrain film to blister and lift off the plastic. I don’t know if that sheds any light on the transfer process... just observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see there is a noticeable difference in reds vs browns and the sharpness of the grain. The 3M doesn't have near the black contrasting lines. Inside the truck it's passable to the point I don't think about it but that is entirely due to them not being in this level of proximity. If changing the dash bezels it would be an all or none situation to me. The edges around the cup holder holes are still stuck very well so I still think something like this is an option if someone has a sharp xacto knife and patience. I just now ordered the middle one David found although it won't be here anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
