Somebody here a while back used the red reflective take and cut the diamonds out and used that. Otherwise check Wyatt's site and he has what products he use to baint the bezel over the gauges. Use the same stuff it works on plastics.
Firefly: Mal: You don't know me, son, so let me put this to you plainly: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake. You'll be facing me. And you'll be armed.
It was fairly easy. I had painted the diamonds on my wheels first. Then a couple months later I got the idea to paint the steering wheel, so I decided to use the paint that I had on the wheels. It was "Testors" paint stick. Kinda like a marker, but paint comes out of the end. To prepare the diamonds, I just used a little bit of sand paper to rough up the surface a little bit, then clean off the residue and dry well. Put 1 coat in the lines, wait a couple hours and then apply another coat. So far so good on mine. Don't have a pic, but that's pretty self explanitory. It was a piece of cake, trust me. Bev

I painted the eagle in mine. It was not very hard, just go VERY slow and take your time. I guess they'res more detail in the eagle though. I just used white touchup paint. Since its indented in there, it doesnt really get that much wear. It really looks good with the other interior peices painted too.

I painted mine tonight with my touch-up paint (Marron). It was easy, but it took patience. I used electrical tape and ran it in a triangle, around my mitsu emblem -- So if I slipped, I wouldn't paint the anything else. Looks pretty sharp.

if anyone wants to say screw the whole painting the gross factory wheel and buy an aftermarket one, i have an extra momo white steering wheel for sale that i was going to use for shows but i never mounted it.
too bad based on facts, that a working air bag is actually more dangerous to you than not having one at all. some 52% more die with air bags than without. and ill be laughing for quite some time if you dont have insurance and you get that estimate to replace two airbags if you so much as bump a light pole the wrong way, it costs over $1300. buckle up.
Well who on earth that has a brain, is going to drive WITHOUT insurance. Of course I have insurance. And the only people that an air bag can harm is those people who are all over the steering wheel when they drive. I personally am about as far back as I can get!!!
And that pic of the steering wheel is exactly what mine looks like!!! Some stock things are GOOD!!
I don't believe that 52& of people die with airbags as oppesed to those without airbags. All I've heard of are rashes or small friction burns that a person can get prom an airbag, but it sure seems much better than a mouth full of windshield ot steering column..... Airbags -- A bag of air, That's not so bad
