72 Re-decal the Door panel insert woodgrain - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**SWB** · 02-13-2015, 12:37 AM

I had the common scuff and scrapes on the woodgrain on both door panels, $21.95 and a half hour on each panel it turned out fairly nice. The small outlined raised edge I left covered and I might cut and expose later...

looks good, what materials did you use
is that a vinyl wrap?

Yes, Vinyl Adhesive backed from Metro Restyling on there ebay store.

It is Cheyenne Teak WOODGRAIN VINYL Sheet Adhesive Backed and the size is 30" x 36" and you can do 3 door inserts. I had to get a larger sheet due to which way the grain runs. They have many, many wood grains but this was my choice. It's alittle lighter than the original but looks very nice..

Looks really good!

**special-K** · 02-13-2015, 10:24 AM

Looks great. A person with really steady hands (like a pinstriper/sign painter) could paint that raised rib silver.

**RenoKeene** · 02-13-2015, 10:27 AM

Looks good to me also.

BrianG · 02-13-2015, 10:41 AM

Them look awesome. I have a question/request

for you though. Is there any way that you could provide some info and possibly pictures of how the inserts are attached to the door panel. I am planning on adding a set to my door panels which were not originally equipped with them. My panels have the chrome trim ring in the same shape as the inserts, but no inserts. Any pictures and tips/info would help me out.

I'll take some pic's of the backside of the panels when I get home, unless another member beats me to it..

The inserts are basically held on by nail style pins that go through the main panel and bent over. The pins go through elongated holes and acouple smaller round holes for a true alignment

Could you post a link to where you got the vinyl?

The raised trim/edge is still there, I just covered it and pressed it around it real good. I might razor it and expose it. If I do I'll post pic's

And thanks for the kind words...

Here is there web page and the grain/color I used,

http://www.metrorestyling.com/Flexib...chteakwood.htm

Here is there ebay store where I purchased mine, but this auction is not the size I got..I think mine was 33" x 34" make sure you ask which direction the grain runs, then do the math

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cheyenne-Tea...52653e&vxp=mtr

sierragrande71 · 02-13-2015, 12:50 PM

What direction is yours running? Maybe it's a dumb questions, but I'm not sure im following you.

Just make sure the grain is running the longer direction to cover the insert, then some. I've seen some that were, for instance 12"x24" and the grain ran the 12" direction

Also I used a hairdryer to help stretch the outside corners, and it also helped the inside corner too. But be careful and don't melt it, wisk it on and off the product and not directly and steady on it.

**WestButteTruck** · 02-14-2015, 04:50 PM

Wonder which style would match the closest to original?

Original 70s era 3M di-noc.

The metro restyling vinyl is good quality but is really orange toned in person. You did a good job though on them. 3M 94 primer helps stick on anything rounded off. A sharp hand with a fresh exacto would get your silver edges back. Trevor

I like it just the way it is, and love the color/type of wood grain you selected IMO much tastier than original.

**leddzepp** · 02-15-2015, 03:53 AM

That looks really really nice

**TBONE1964** · 02-15-2015, 04:30 AM

I agree, great work and interested.

Take care,
