ABSTRACT:
A cost effective method for realistically simulating a wood grain appearance on a door skin used to form a panel door includes compression molding a fiber reinforced polyester door skin having an outer surface with "closed" areas dense with deep grains and "open" areas with a generally lesser concentration of deep grains, the surface further having a predetermined surface roughness. The outer surface also has shallow grains in trim areas that are steeply angled with respect to the substantially planar door skin. A mixture of artist's oil cut 1:1 with mineral spirits on a fluid ounce basis is then sprayed onto the outer surface after molding. After twenty minutes, the mixture is rubbed in, and the door skin is dried vertically in a forced air oven for one hour at about 120.degree. F.
