Just wish I would have thought of painting my steering wheel. guess I know what I am going to be doing soon BEFORE:

I want to paint match my door panels to match my tan leather seats....Hmmm. I see a project coming.

Nice work!!!!!

If you mean do I have a step-by-step of how I did this - not really. Most of the custom pieces came from VetteEssentials (Seat Covers, Door Pulls, Arm Rests, Brake Handle & Boot, Shifter Handle & Boot, Sun Visors, Steering Wheel, Console Lid, etc.), then I did the lower door panels, door handle bezels, ashtray & cup holder lids, etc, to match.

If you mean more words and pics, you can look here...

Anxious to see the installed pics. So far it looks like it will look fantastic. I too, would be worried about accidentally scratching it. Let us know how it's holding up after you've ridden around in it for a couple weeks.

If you use the Duplicolor vinyl paint on the door panels &dash bolsters,do you clear them after painting?

I didn't. It will probably just make them look shiny and I didn't want that. It will keep them protected though.
