I had the same exact situation on my car. I stripped the glove box side
and lightly sanded the veneer with some 400 to be sure it was smooth. I
mixed Cherry stain and Walnut stain 50/50 and wiped it on the wood.
After it dried, I poured the resin finish. Even in bright daylight, the
two dash panels are a good match. I think the original finish on the
dash might turn color with age and cause the coloration we see.
