The vinyl wood grain on my Cavalier USS-8-64 and CSS-8-64 is weathered and I'd like to replace it.  I've read in other posts how to remove the vinyl, but where do you find the replacement vinyl wood grain?  Are there alternatives to the wood grain that look good?

I've kept the wood grain looking in fair condition with brown shoe polish, but it tends to fade after a few weeks or so.

Thanks,

Jim

I will deny saying this, but wood grain contact paper is still available in stores. Check the housewares section, or ask the clerk for "shelf paper.
I've also seen it at my local Ace hardware, Lowes,  Kmart, Walmart,  Michaels....

You could, but  contact paper is a few bucks a roll and doesn't require contact cement  Smiley

Once you remove the contact paper you may decide to clean up the door and leave it as is.  Many times the paint underneath looks fine.
