Restoring faux wood finish

Question:

I am trying to restore the faux wood finish on the panel above the glove box on a 1979 Lincoln Mark V as it is flaking off. I have tried Eastwood and Year One without any luck. Can you suggest a source or method to restore this panel?

Answer:

I don’t have any experience restoring the faux wood finish you are having difficulty with. If any readers have had success restoring the trim panels in question, please let us know.

Another option, of course, is to find a good used replacement part. Give the folks at Lincoln Land a shout (www.lincolnlandinc.com), and try contacting Green Sales Company (800543-4959, www.greensalescompany. com). And as always, eBay is a good resource for NOS and good used parts.
