Re: STOCK 67-72 Steering Wheels

Anybody know where to get Fawn color spraypaint? The Paddock had it but they folded.
Need it to restore my '68 3-spoke wheel.

Re: STOCK 67-72 Steering Wheels

i'm really kind of frustrated with this.. I've never tried to restore a wheel before, and I absolutely HATE the Grant that was on there. (Ironically, it popped off the other day). The inventory of 17" aftermarkets (aside from repops) is nearly nil. So are custom wheels (17")
I want the 17" because for now, I have Armstrong steering. Plus, I want some semblance of a classic look.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'm replacing it with the one on the left. For the life of me, I don't know why it doesn't have the sheen, but I'm guessing it's because it's from humid Ohio. This one was packed away in a box for 20-25 years, so the story goes. No cracks or separation, nice grain and no nicks. I'll shine it up like new again.



Original:


Replacement:
I have a wheel that looks like the wheel on the left. What are folks using to bring the shine back safely?
