Units grey textured Laminate

My units seem to be taking on the appearance of to many scratches/dints/wear - can this laminate be obtained? Or would it have to be laminate already bonded on wood? Also the edge trimming available but not so important.

Re: Non start 2.5 TD 1996

I was going to post photos of the displaced faulty relay - however although I did open it up and do photographs it looks new and with no obvious visible defect such as burnt out wire or coil. If you want to see the photos of the internals of a glowplug relay let me know.
