Hmmm... I can see that, I also see that painting it in Hammer finish would look a)great b)be a pain, not so much as wrinkle to tech but that could be an issue.

How bout some wood grain contact paper I saw an ENTIRE Dodge neon done with it inside and out....it was ...... interesting.....

I did mine "the hard way" with etching primer, it bonds really nice, then Urethane with a flattening agent, I didnt get it as flat as aI wanted.
