Austin 7 dash colour and finish?

[Chris KC]

I scumbled the door cappings on my Box - I still have the paints in the shed (whether they are liquid still or not is another mattter) You are welcome to them, Chris. The tricky bit is creating the 'grain' and I did it with some metal combs I borrowed which I may still have access to..

For those of you who arent aware of the process, you paint a light colour on the item first then, when that is dry, you paint a darker colour on top and run the comb through it to expose the lighter colour beneath, making it look like wood grain. My efforts were amateurish but I was happy with them at the time. A skilled person can achieve remarkable results...

Thanks Hugh! As you probably realised by the time I get to this job your pots will certainly be dry! I'm trying to use the winter eves to research future tasks. Would be good to take a look though - let's catch up some time soon.
