I realize that me and sanding / painting is not the best combination. I don't see what I am doing when sanding. I don't see how it looks like. Not until I have painted. Then I see all the mistakes. So, I sanded the steering wheel again, but this time I painted it so it is what it is. It is much better than the cracked thing I brought home, but the finish is sub par. But as long as I don't see what I am doing, it is not much I can do about it.
One thing I really struggled with is that the epoxy is totally clear. So, when I got epoxy on the steering wheel I see all the imperfections in the original resin in it. But, I do not see the imperfections in the surface of the epoxy.
Does anyone know if there is any black pigment to mix in Epoxy so the old surface disappear and I only see the top surface ?
I will post pics when the steering wheel is dry enough to take off the copper pipe.
