« Last post by option B9 on April 29, 2024, 10:02:19 PM » Hi Chuck, Yes it came out nice, I added up the time spent on the wheel Including time spent ordering then picking up the paint, reducer & a few measuring cups. It comes out to 7 hours, and a total cost of supplies was $51.88 I would have spent more if I sent the wheel back to CA, then I would wait months to get it back to NY.
After the wheel is installed the next item will be the new glove compartment then on to the cowl vent grille panel, I was able to find the correct size W/W tubing and I purchased enough to update all 3 GSs, so I will start with the Red GS.
I've been able to get all of this work done because the NYC school system is closed down for Spring break so my wife has been home since the 20th handling the day to day stuff while I work on the GS, she returns to work on Wednesday, so my progress may slow down a bit, but I will work every day as long as the weather holds up.

« Last post by option B9 on April 29, 2024, 08:15:03 PM » Hi Everyone, this has been the 8th straight day of working on the Red GS, I solved the fuel tank sending unit Tan wire problem yesterday. Today It was 80 degrees and a perfect day to spray the steering wheel. The color match was perfect, The paint I used is a single stage super acrylic called Limco. the color is Ember Firemist. I made a jig to hold the wheel so I don't touch it. I used my small detail gun with an 06 tip. I sprayed 2 coats at 25PSI 6 inches from the wheel , then waited 15 minutes and sprayed another 2 coats at 30 PSI 4 inches from the wheel. It came out real good. I'm letting it dry overnight, I will install it tomorrow...
