    Steering Wheel paint color needed

    Any suggestions on what to use to refinish the black on factory steering wheels? It seems to have some gray to it - gloss black is too black.

    Would the satin black used on Fuchs (and probably elsewhere) be closer? Wurth, or more easily found Rustoleum Satin Black #7777, I believe. I used the Rustomleum on my Fuchs and it's holding up well, so I assume it would be okay on the wheel.

    I've got a wood-rimmed wheel in the '68 and myself, I keep the wood in as good a shape as possibly, but leave the wear on the metal as "patina."

    Dave,

    Here is what Krylon Rust Tough Enamel in a Semi-Flat Black #9203 looks like.

    Funny you should post this Dave. I was just going to order the Wurth Satin Black from PP today to do my RS wheel. I tried the Wurth flat black and it looks terrible. I am not too keen on the Wurth price tag and shipping from CA, so I may try to find the Krylon that Tangerine mentions. I am interested in what direction you go as well.
