Wilsonart does have, or did have the last time I looked, a 
plastic laminate that was pretty close. You probably will 
have to go to a "real" supply place, not just HD, and you 
will have to special order a whole sheet.

I made a table out of Luan and matched the color and used a 
matt finish, it looks pretty good.

Somebody may have the guts of a '73 laying around too.

That stuff is called tambour, and I got mine from

You will have to order a whole 4x8 sheet, but it gets 
shipped rolled up and comes fast.
