Steering Wheel Refurbishment


Dr. 240Z

Hi,

After reading several posts on this project I refurbished my Z's steering wheel as follows:

1) I cleaned the grime off the rim with a green pad and Murphy Oil.

2) Next I sanded the wood/epoxy rim with a fine sanding pad.

3) After taping off the spokes I covered the rim with 'Famowood' Gloss Glaze Coat.

4) Taped off the finished rim then sanded (to 400), primed (self etch) and painted (semi gloss enamel) the spokes.

Very Nice! I spent this morning stripping finish from two spare wheels I have in the garage. They will need several more applications of varnish remover.

One thing I learned doing my "in-car" steering wheel is that using gun blue on the spokes seemed to work as a good paint pre-treat for the spokes & hub.
