Re: TR6 steering wheel restoration

John,

My wheel was getting pretty ratty also. The original was actually plated
rather than painted, but there is no easy way to get it replated. TRF
sells a painted wheel as a replacement, but if your rim is in good shape
then there is no real need to replace it. 

I sanded mine and used Hammerite SIlver paint on the spokes. The finished
product looks great. While not original, it has a very period look to it.

Hammerite is available in spray cans at Home Depot.
