Default I painted my steering wheel!


close up

I had some extra paint lying around from when I painted my warhammer miniatures. 3 coats of blood red, and 1 coat of chainmail. I don't know if it will last (im guessing its going to crack soon anyway) but I think it looks pretty cool.

Nah, my steering wheel was falling apart or something. It was like flaking and peeling and if I touched it with wet hands my hands would turn black lol.

I thought this guy had spray painted the air bag portion. But I am glad you didn't. It looks great.

I know what you are talking about with the flaking and hands being black afterwards. I had the same issue with my old trans am. I just bought a pair of leather gloves and that solved the problem.
