WTB Woodgrain aka "Transfer" 1154210

Looking for rolls of woodgrain, GM lists it as "Transfer".
P/N 1154210, or earlier #s 231371, 231618.

The material you’re looking for is manufactured by 3M called di-noc. It’s available in many wood gain patterns. I recently purchased a section to recover the tailgate of my Roadmaster wagon from this vendor. If by chance someone is willing to sell you “NOS” wood grain by the part number you’ve specified, the likelihood that the adhesive is completely expired is extremely high.

Thanks, I should have mentioned that I know of DINoc, and have samples from Metro. One is close. A few other sites have more DiNoc woodgrain variations which I will order samples.
Agreed, the "NOS" rolls are probably past their prime. But I do have 2 rolls which appear to be in good condition, adhesive wise.

I used Dinoc wood grain on my 66 98 convertible. Very, very close match to the dash wood grain. I think I used the mahogany version.

It’d take a trained eye to notice that it’s not factory. Anyway 1 vote for Dinoc from Metrorestyling. Happy customer.

For my ‘66 Starfire, I may have gotten the vinyl replacment for the original aluminum trim from them too. Every ‘65-66 Starfire console has had its aluminum console trim beaten to death by seatbelt buckles being tossed on to it. I eventually just settled on ripping up the aluminum and getting a roll of grained aluminum color adhesive-backed vinyl that I can recut and replace at will.

Woodgrain. Carry on!

Can someone post which Dinoc vinyls match up with the different 1970, 71 and 72 442 wood grains?

I’m guessing no one here has their complete catalogue in jpeg or similar format.

Your best bet is to head over to metrorestyling.com and order a bunch of samples to match up to whatever woodgrain you’d like to match on your car.

No hassle, but just head over there and do the research for 70/71/72 442 wood grains. Then share what you’ve learned here to save the next guy some time if you like.

Also, once you have the samples, you can make a very well informed, personal decision about whether their offerings will suit your standards for your car. Very much like my wife wants to get fabric shades just right before recovering couches or chairs in a room.

I’m a very happy customer of metrorestyling.com, but finishes are ultimately a judgment call. Or, well, heheh, a judge’s call (depending on whether you care about judging).

My door card vinyl mahogany doesn’t _quite_ match my factory dash. But it’s within 2% of correct to me. Your tolerance may be different, so get the samples, do the compare and tell us what you think.


Cheers
Chris
