    Woodgrain for Sportwagon

    Any recommendations for replacing the woodgrain on my 68 Sportwagon?

    The 3M Di Noc vinyl material with various wood grain patterns is still available in 48" rolls. Another supplier is Belbien. There's quite a bit of application data on the Web for architectural use. Looks like the material is suitable for outdoor use on stable metal surfaces. The original materials on the car exteriors didn't hold up very well when exposed to the sun for long periods. The wood grain would start showing heavy wear in 3-4 years typically.

    A shop that does advertising wraps for vehicles can probably advise on the best materials and even do the installation.
