look steering wheel
I am kind of proud of this so I thought I would share. I have over 20 hours in just sanding this wheel. It started out the typical wheel all full of cracks. I Cut out all the cracks filled with epoxy, then smoothed with filler, several coats of 2k, and painted.
I don't think I would ever do another wheel very tedious and time consuming but the results were worth it.

Good job. I tried one and it came out OK but I didn't spend enough time on it so it looked a little ragged. You sure can't rush it or cut any corners or it won't come out like yours did..... LockDoc

Re: look steering wheel
Nice work sir. I did my 67 Chevelle wheel a few years ago and have been using it ever since.

Re: look steering wheel
That's nice work. You say you would not do another because it takes a lot of time, but I'm thinking the more you see it, the more likely you are to change your mind.
Looks fabulous.

Re: look steering wheel
What did you paint it with? What is 2K? I bought a kit from Eastwood but didn't use it because I needed to research what paint to use! Spray can or
gun?

Re: look steering wheel
Thanks 68, I will dig out my kit and a real crappy wheel and experiment. I found all that paint on ebay. So which brand works best?
