Oddly enough, my TR4 already has a "plastic hybrid" veneer inside.

It's a brush-on substance that lends a 'wood-grain' to bare metal.  (ie,
two-tone paint).  Either that or it's applied with a texturing tool.

My grandpa has seen and used this stuff in the body shop (and later on,
the boat shop) he worked in.

I don't know if it's stock (don't think so), and it's peeling, but if you
want to be ultra-cheesy, go this route :-)

I will probably replace the paints with veneer, or just paint the
dashboard as stock.
