Re: Painting the steering wheel

I painted my wheel myself, and so far so good. As with anything, prep is 90% of the work and the result.

Sanded the wheel to remove old finish.
Wiped it down three times to remove dust, and finger print oils.
Two medium wet coats of epoxy primer
Let dry....

Sanded down primer with some 400 grit paper.
While down again....and again.

Shot with two coats of Single Stage Poly

I painted the wheel, dash, window garnish moldings and other interior bits all the same time to avoid any differences in how the paint laid down or looked.

See my project blog for more details.
