Subject: Re: LG 45 steering wheel wanted
This looks really good.
I had a strange and really rather offhand response from the people who advertise steering wheel restoration in the club magazine. I need to have the boss on my 2 Litre wheel recovered and when I phoned them as a potential customer they were really quite uncommunicative. I emailed them further details and did not receive a reply. I got the strong impression that were not going to discuss their restoration process with me. I was quite surprised about this, because most restorers I have met are very proud of their skills. I am thinking about Surelock for example.
I know people who have used this steering wheel restoration company and been very satisfied with the result so maybe I contacted them on a bad day and they are overloaded with work at £350 per go.
I am inspired by Bill's results. It may be that the original process simply involved many coats of cellulose paint on top of each other to get that lovely deep sheen. Does anyone know how original cellulose ping pong balls were made?
