Wood grain tape for lower trim??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wldcat10 · 03-16-2011, 05:21 PM

Where can I find wood grain tape for the lower trim? I'm looking to restore my lower trim. Would like to put on wood grain tape rather than paint it black. Does anybody know of any stores that carries it? I would rather go pick it up than have to order it. Any help is appreciated.

I never did order it. I wanted to see what it looked like on another truck before I went ahead and ordered it. Anybody have pics???

I'm planning on doing the same thing with my trim as well. Here's a thread I saved where a member restored his trim and used the tape. From what you can tell from the pics it looks like it worked really good.

I got mine from LMC it looks good. It was $20.00 for a roll.

ricks71pu · 05-28-2011, 12:53 AM

How wide is it? Looking to buy some from China on ebay which is 2 inches wide.

big mike71 · 05-15-2014, 03:21 PM

The tape I got from LMC is 1 5/8"

73737373 · 05-15-2014, 03:23 PM

...And it fits OK?

big mike71 · 05-15-2014, 03:43 PM

Yeah

big mike71 · 05-15-2014, 04:05 PM

Here's an up close pic of how it fits.

73737373 · 05-15-2014, 04:10 PM

Thanks for the pic. Looks great. Probably better to buy it already fitting instead of buying it 2 inches wide and having to drag an exacto-knife over it.

I used that woodgrain tape on my last truck, I think I bought my roll from Classic Parts. I can attest to the durability of it, I DD'd my truck for eight years through Colorado winters and summers and had no issues with it at all.

Many thanks.
