Title: CSS-8-64: Looking for 'faux wood' retro-style decal
Post by: TexasGreek on October 11, 2015, 01:06:05 pm
Seems I remember seeing these for sale at one of the larger online dealers, but now can't seem to find them. I'm talking about that tacky, simulated dark oak wood grain sheet adhesive that was all over everything during the 70's up until the 80's (Was it also popular during the 60's?). In the process of restoring my CSS-9-64 StyleStar Coca Cola and need this decal like the one seen in the picture.

If you're looking for a more heavy duty vinyl, 3M makes a product called Di-NOC, which should work better for the restoration

For not much more than the 3M stuff could get thin real wood veaner. Finished right would look a darn sight better than a printed film.
