That's where I got mine but I think you can find it online in other places also.

Any ideas?
You can't use stain on the wood trims unless you remove the clear coat first. Then you risk cutting through the top single or multi layer of wood veneer. There is normally five layers of veneer, three construction layers and then 1-2 finish layers. This end product is ran through a clearing process and then buffed. You can paint them any color at this stage using any automotive base coat clear coat system. I offer this service so if you want a professional job with the right products used give me a shout.

I am willing to do a full set for someone at no cost with the agreement that we take pre and post photos and share them. The cost would only be for materials which is not much. If you are unsure and want to test it, you can send one panel with no attachments. If you want black, the cost would only be for shipping for the test part because I already have the materials, probably not enough to do a entire set though...

P.S. - I think you can easily just get your interior vinyl wrapped instead of paint. This might be cheaper and easier to do and give you a lot of options on maybe even going a carbon-fiber look.

The word "Piano" comes to mind! The black piano paint is soooo lush in comparison with the grandpa wood! I got white carbon in mine, if I had wood, I would have done exactly the same as you! (Or carbon wrap )
