More XK8 "Wood" trim
This was a boring weekend. All my projects were done and, on Saturday, I received a replacement interior door handle plastic piece from e-bay. The problem was that it was the wrong color from the pictures.....what to do?
So, I used an old skill called trompe l'oeil. This is the art of painting an object to look like it is made of something else in this case. I took the two door pieces, the seatbelt covers -all 4 of them, and made them look like the factory dash finish.
I like the look - not too over the top and tasteful.

Always thought we needed just a little more wood spread around the car.
