I'm in a proces of cleaning and painting the interior of my FD.
So far i did the leather seats with same tan color from leathermagic.com, the center console and dash and so on with titanium gray color.

My question is this:
I'd like to do the steering wheel two tone like the RX-8's

Is there any kind of paint that will stick to the leather or plastick of the SW ?

Any suggestions appreciated .

BTW I'll post pic's when finished.

 

it will eventually wear off i think, espeically from the oils from your hand as well as from turning the wheel so fast

 

I like my stock interior, good luck with yours tho.

 

I know, it's hard to find something durable that will withstand the hand oils and rubbing when you drive, I just wish there is something real strong.

Thanks.
I own my FD for over 7 years, is time to change litle something in it.

 

Anyone?

 

At first I thought WTF? now I understand brother

 

LOL.

 

Ohh, BTW is the painted part of the SW in our FD's Vinyl or Leather ???

 

This might seem dumb, but what about powder coating it? If its possible.

 

you can only powder coat stuff that can handle over 400F.
You have to "bake" the powder on at 400 for i believe 20 minutes.

This is how someone in the 3rd gen section does it anyhow.

couldn't you find a leather dye kit and color it that way?
Just a thought

 

This may seem dumb but I have no Idea what powder coating is,

Ijneb makes it pretty understandable but still no Idea what P. C. is.

I may just order the paint from the leathermagic.com where I got the paint (die) for the seats, but I don't know if the part of the SW I whana paint is leather or vinyl.

What material do you guys think it is?

 

try wraping the wheel in a different color leather it should be faily easy to do. take it to a upholser shop.

 

I may do that, but than is involved steering wheel removal and the whole 9 yards...
