Re: 1969-1972 Chevy/GMC Factory Steering Wheel Restoration

Well it's lasted me a couple months now and I've become irritable with a few issues it has at this point. The hardener didn't seal correctly ontop of the hub portion and it cracked through the paint and it had a lot of other minor cracks throughout the wheel itself so I've decide to completely re-do it.

I've already begun sanding and even replaced hub areas filler so that its drying and ready for me to sand tonight. Think I may need to stay thick this time so that it won't crack through. Other areas were fine but it may have had a bad base to start with.

It does get gummy when in the heat and I'm looking for a paint that won't re-produce that same effect. Something along the lines of SEM paint since that's what most interiors get I.e. door panels. So is there any feedback there? Or should I get the body work done and get it professionally sprayed??
