I finally completed one of my winter projects. My factory leather wrapped wheel has been showing it's age these past years, so I removed and repaired it. The leather was badly faded to a tan color across the top and it had cracks and chips everywhere.
I received a very nice "Keewee" brand vinyl repair kit from my employees this last Christmas and decided to put it to the test. The gel covered the cracks and chips beautifully. It was very easy to work with and shape. I vinyl spray paint I purchased was far too shiny and did not match the rest of the satin black interior, so I rubbed black shoe polish over the entire wheel and it matched perfectly. These pics do not do the wheel justice as I had dead camera batteries and it was only 20 degrees in the shop today. The wheel turned out great and matches the rest of the interior perfectly. One project down, 25 more to go before spring.
