For you guys trying to make an old wheel look new, check this stuff out !

http://www.eti-usa.com/consum/envtex/envlite.htm

Its clear and can be used over a painted surface for color matching. Its tuff as hell and once you mend any cracks or other defects with epoxy or what ever you want then color march it and use the ENVIROTEX LITE on it. The stuff takes about 3 hours to kick and you'll need to keep the part moving so it won't sag till it sets. We've used it on Corvette resto wheels and even Cessna yokes. Looks GREAT once its hard. Impervious to chemicals and easy to repair. Read the sites user info for tips. Purchase from Craft stores.

How about a steering wheel resto FAQ with photos mac? This stuff sounds great, but how can you duplicate the leather grain on the upper surface of the 69-72 wheels?

Haven't tried to put any grain in it yet. So far it all been smooth stuff. I'm thinking that it might take grain from a vinyl fabric before it goes hard. Gonna take some experimenting. It can be sprayed, dipped or brushed tho. Comes in small quanities or all the way up to gallons for @ $75.
