My bow has seen better days. Cracking on the passenger side, delaminating on the driver's. Fortunately the windshield rubber has been replaced and all I have to do is locate a fully laminated replacement bow. I've yet to locate a slavage yard bow suitable for refinishing, mostly because there aren't too many complete 108's to be found anymore. When I do I'll try your refinishing method.

I will try to match the color to the sun fade on my walnut. Under the heater bezel I could see that the dash was originally a deep chocolate brown, but 30 years of sunshine have mellowed the color to a dark maple tone.
