Go to any of the major paint suppliers in your town. Sherwin Williams, Porters Paints etc. They will show you how to use a graining tool and will sell you the right products for reworking the wood dash. They will need a piece of the dash to see how to do the color matching though. good luck. .jmo

The time and/or money spent will probably result in the quality of the result. Check out the folks linked below, they are friends of mine and may be able to help you. They can sell you the graining kit or they can do the parts for you.

The factory process is done with an etched printing plate and a large soft roller. You spray a base coat and then lay down a printers ink.

You can buy the kits from this place:
