looks real clean. I know the paint is primarily meant for interior components, but would it withstand the elements if it was used on the exterior? say the roof of a wagon? yay or nay?
You can remove the "grain paint" with a damp towel or even your fingers (wich is good to make corrections) so you have to spray it over with a clearcoat anyways. And that will wor on a roof or anywhere. Frank
thanks frank. I've been browsing through their site and this stuff does not come cheap! $450 for a deluxe kit and almost $300 for their biggest roller. I might try this down the line, waaaay down the line. I've been researching other techniques but this method has to be the most natural and realistic looking of them all. -dirt
If you were to do a roof I'd use the dark inks. blacks and browns don't fade much. anything with red fades faster. also you can always give us a ring at the shop. I believe our ink with the reds in it is automotive grade pigment so it should not fade anymore than any other auto paint. But always call first and Talk with Evan he makes the inks. Also you know there is a HAMB discount right? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16525&highlight=woodgraining They are a set of tools not a $300 gallon of paint you can use them over and over.

There are some scans in this folder with some neat woodgrain info.http://rbicycle.iserver.net/photos/47p/ Jdee
Sweet, a Hamb discount! & thanks for all the info Jdee. You guys do produce quality stuff, the best I've ever seen. I'll most likely pick up a kit once I get down to the painting stage. Right now I'm at the get me a wagon stage, haha.
Jdee, I've finally got a not so nice dash ready to go... as practice before I pull all the garnishes and dash out of my car.
