My steering wheel project, Repainting, recovering Options

[MrKona]

Thought I would share my most recent project - my redone steering wheel. Started out with a plastic steering wheel that I wanted to recover in leather. I also wanted a little padding, so I bought the complete kit from AGLA, which includes felt padding, leather, thread, and a couple of needles. I read on the early 911 registry that Porsche used 380mm (aka 914) plastic wheels and felt for the 911RSR thick grip leather wheels. It took close to two months to receive the kit, but in the end, it was decent quality.

I first sanded the existing paint, primed, and repainted the spokes with L43 Grey Black from Wolfsburg West. I read somewhere that this is a good match with the original paint and that proved true.
