KS WTB: Blue Steering Wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Cash3481** · 03-15-2012, 08:35 AM

Looking for a blue steering wheel like the one pictured below. Repo is fine, a small crack or two i can live with. Let me know what you have, pics are appreciated.
I have a few things to trade for a decent wheel too, if you'd like that route as well.

Heavy Metalchevy:
This is the $2,500 dollar special I went to look at to talk the guy down and part but the CL pics were taken with a dirty lens. I was going to buy it to part but The truck was repainted what looks to be Chevy blue, I have a Small can of the paint to get the color code from, I guess I would need a cost of the wheel and the paint. Shoot it to me and we can talk off line.
Is that paint going to be durable enough for a daily driver. (my Daughter the 11th grader). Ill post a pic too.

HeavyMetalChevy · 03-18-2012, 12:32 AM

NICE SCORE BUDDY!!!!!!!!!! Sweet! Hows about you just send me funds for a quart of paint, quart of reducer, and pint of hardener... I will supply the wheel and ship as well. Since I will be getting extra supplies out of the deal. So basically the labor is free. I just like to paint... And I can gurantee it will last a very very very long time. I will be using a two part acrylic enamel... Tough as nails. What do you think about this color.. It is a factory paint color.

HeavyMetalChevy · 03-18-2012, 12:50 AM

ItemNo Description Amount
Ordered UOM Price Ext. Price Remove
RSP AE1506-QT SPEED BLUE ACRYLIC ENAMEL 1-QUART QT $22.98 $22.98 x
RSP UR70-QT MEDIUM URETHANE REDUCER 70 TO 85 DEG. TEMP RANGE QT $13.95 $13.95 x

Subtotal: $64.88
Freight: $0.00
Tax: $0.00
Total: $64.88 + $20.93 ship + $85.81 total... these are all set prices no mark up man... That's how I roll. I have a wheel I bought a while back off here that was in above average shape with minor cracks. I have repair and primed... Basically you will be getting a brand new looking wheel that is very durable with typical grain wear for under $100

HeavyMetalChevy · 03-18-2012, 12:58 AM

Here is the wheel I would be shooting. Not the best grain but when I am done shooting it... wear your shades!!!

**72peace** · 04-02-2012, 04:50 PM

Hvymtlchvy,
So is the speed blue closer to real than their medium blue?

Thanks,

**Cash3481** · 04-02-2012, 09:50 PM

Heavy metal,
I suppose you ready for a sneak peek for me, huh?

Did you ever get the paint code and what brand paint is it? I ordered some and I tend to mix my own colors because then you make more from the original concentrate. Had to take a break for a while. Pops's liver transplant is acting up again. Had to put stint in the bile duct this week but he just had to go back to VA Hospital in Indy tonight. He had temp of 104.

Been a lot of trial and tribulations lately but I fig. I should get back to the parts because there is only so much I can do for my father and it will also keep my mind occupied. So ask away!!!

I am about to go shoot some. I have been matching off of the factory medium blue color for interior panels and such. I have the Ditzler Codes and PPG but like I said. I like mixing my own. I will have pics up shortly.

Thanks!

I should have just had you send the paint. lol It is calling out medium blue like I thought but I think I am going to have to mix a little darker.. Here is a test run. It is pretty much spot on to med. blue. See what your SPID calls out and what color are the door panels?

No I doubt that... But he is a little off med. blue because of the newer paint job I assumed. They have the Ditzler codes and PPG as well. I always like doing it the hard way! lol

HeavyMetalChevy · 04-04-2012, 10:57 PM

Oh yeah..keep in mind it is wet. lol

HeavyMetalChevy · 04-05-2012, 12:09 AM

get it out in daylight tomorrow. Some are with flash and they lighten the hue on most pics. Some others I took in florescent lighting.

That wheel turned out great! The factory Blue wheel is very rare to find. This is a nice replacement.
