HAHAHAHA!

Good one!

Man I do wish they had the steering wheel covers for sale.
I have no clue why I can't find them even on Ford's site.
You'd figure they sell replacements for ALL parts right?

 

Well, since I'm gonna get a new wheel anyway, I decided to pull off those inserts and paint em myself just to see how they would look. They're sitting on a piece of cardboard on my garage floor drying right now. By morning, I'll have them back on the wheel and I'll post a pic (unless it's hideous). Stand by...

LOL... what the heck. It's fun messing around with disposable parts.

 

Pics?
It's tomorrow lol!

 

Actually, they don't look half bad. Still sitting on the garage floor with a few clear-coats setting. I think for a $6 mod, it won't look too bad at all.

That offer to burn them is still a possibility though, so get the furnace ready.

 

Ugh!!! It seems that last night, I put a clearcoat on before the base coat was fully dry. So this morning I found a very... how can I put it... "artistic" result.

Stripped them, and going on try #2.

If I was getting paid to be a painter, I would be fired and flipping burgers by now.

At least, I can tell that it'll look pretty good when done. This time I'm giving each coat a loooooong time to set. Still plan on throwing up some pics maybe late tonight.

 

Okay... all done. I kinda like the matching color on the wheel now. I dust-textured the last coat to give it a finish that scatters the light and makes everything look even. Below, as promised, is a before shot and two after shots (pics at night, so sorry for the flash):

Nicely done..

 

Thanks HoboDxb! Hey, what's the movie clip in your sig?

 

I thought you could apply clear coat as long as you did it
within ONE hr of the paint being put on.... or if you waited longer you have to
wait 48hrs then put it on.

Am I not correct?
