    Default What is the best black to paint your steering wheel column

    Hello all,

    I am sorry for all the questions, I just have a lot to do with this car. The steering wheel column is faded, but in good shape.

    What color black would you guys recommend to paint it.

    Thank you!

    Plastic column cover?

    Is so I used duplicolor black trim and bumper paint. Matched up to the original lower column cover from a 1982 t bird. Little extra shine to it so I 303 aerospaced the lower cover and it was really close looking.



    Left to right on screen:

    tbrid lower, mustang 86 upper w/tilt, 82 t bird upper w/tilt and 87 Crown Victoria upper w/tilt.

    I did a 5 speed swap and needed a cover without the column shifter hole.

    I like Duplicolor interior black. It has a bit more gloss than SEM. The dash pad is where you don’t want gloss.
