Steering Wheel Refurbishment

Hi,

After reading several posts on this project I refurbished my Z's steering wheel as follows:

1) I cleaned the grime off the rim with a green pad and Murphy Oil.

2) Next I sanded the wood/epoxy rim with a fine sanding pad.

3) After taping off the spokes I covered the rim with 'Famowood' Gloss Glaze Coat.

4) Taped off the finished rim then sanded (to 400), primed (self etch) and painted (semi gloss enamel) the spokes.

    Nice work.

    Very Nice! I spent this morning stripping finish from two spare wheels I have in the garage. They will need several more applications of varnish remover.

    One thing I learned doing my "in-car" steering wheel is that using gun blue on the spokes seemed to work as a good paint pre-treat for the spokes & hub.

    very nice, adding this to the things to do for my car.
