Gave the bonnet another few coats of paint so it should be plenty thick enough to cut back. Also started to refurbished my steering wheel (Friday not today).
Got an old scruffy wheel from Patriot on here which was in poor condition and needed a refurb.
Never got a pic of it before but decided to strip it and give it a once over.
I drilled out the rivets holding the centre spoke to the wood rim. I sanded the rim with decorators glass paper to rid the wheel of the ingrained dirt and traces of glue etc.
Once smooth and clean I purchased some clear polyurathane varnish which was water based, I watered down the stuff 50/50 with regular water and gave it its first coat with a cheap gravity spray gun connected to my compressor using an in line water trap and left it to dry. I then gave it 4 x coats of undiluted varnish, leaving the previous coats to flash off and go tacky then left it to dry. I will now use some 1000 wet and dry to polish it up a little then give it a thin coat to give it a shine.
It looks like this so far.

Then I turned my attention to the boss, I have fitted polished stainless cap heads and painted it electric blue to match the car.

Just the centre spoke bit left to polish then it can go back together.
