I am making a new instrument panel for my ASW27. The original panel appears to have a textured overlay that looks similar to leather. As far as I can tell the panel was made from carbon fiber over a plug and then the texture was bonded to the panel most likely using a vacuum bagging method. It is bonded so well that it may have been part of the layup process. I would like to duplicate the same look if possible. I am looking for some help regarding possible texture materials and procedures to provide a new panel with the original manufactures results.

Thanks,

The panel is glass and the texture is in the mold. Black Gelcoat, then glass.
If you want it like the factory, save yourself a lot of wasted time and buy one from Willaims. If you specify your cutouts, they will cut it for you very reasonably.
