wood grain

what color do you guys use for wood grain interiors? i'm working on a 72 charger and making part of the dash wood grain. just picked up NATO brown (xf-68), thought it might closely imitated wood grain. it's flat acrylic so i thought i might put a light mist of clear coat over it to give it a semi-gloss look. but now i'm questioning my buy. anyone have any suggestions to simulate wood grain or recommend another color?

Gunze Mr. Color and Mr. Hobby Color has a variety of brown colors that are semi-gloss. I've used them in the past for my wood grain interiors.

For woodgrain I use this stuff Kens Wood Grain (http://scaledreams.com/KEN'S.HTM) just scroll to the bottom of the page.

I have used oil paints in the past with very effective results. I usually combine two shades, one darker than the other ( derr! obviously, sorry), apply one colour over the whole area then streak the other shade through it, then use a flat clean brush to smude / blend the colours together. The only problem is it takes a long while to dry. Its best done as the last stage to an interior build. Its also a very useful trick for props on 1st ww biplanes.

thanks alot guys. i'll think i'll try verminator's technique.
but thanks tommy for the site, i'll probably use that in the future.
